According to this article:

Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support

under the "Approve or decline a request" section:

Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. (See your notifications on your Mac or iOS device.)

If you decline the request or don't make the purchase, it will be deleted after 24 hours, and the child will need to make the request again.
