Ask to buy not working

I am not getting “ask to buy” notifications from my child's phone. I have done all of the suggested “fixes” and nothing is out of order. I also cannot move the apple id box on my child’s phone to log in directly on their device, it does not react.

If Ask to Buy isn't working - "Learn what to do if you don't see your Ask to Buy notifications, or if your child sees "Unable to Ask Permission" after asking your family group organizer to make a purchase."
