How can i monitor my child's text messages if they have their own apple ID?

I have been using my appleID on both my iPhone and my daughters because i like getting her text messages in real time. Unfortunately, this is no longer working well. Do you have any other suggestions on how I can get her text messages in real time without using the same appleID?

Use Parental Controls --> Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


And you should definitely stop sharing an Apple ID.


You can also set up family sharing to share apps --> Family Sharing - Apple Support
