Hello brooklynmimi,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're no longer able to use Screen Time to control your child's iPad. We're happy to look into this with you.


If you haven't already, review the Related Article at the top of this page to confirm you've followed all steps to set up parental controls. If the issue persists, restart both devices. Restarting can resolve many unexpected behaviors.
