Approving purchases on family sharing account

We have a family sharing account in which my husband is the organizer and I am a parent approver. But when my kids try to download an app, only my husband gets the request to authorize, not me. Why?

Ask him to turn parent approver off, restart his phone, and then make you a parent approver again.
