Hey rjbutler215,
The Screen Time passcode for parental controls should be something they would not guess and can be changed if needed by toggling the feature off and on again.
"Set Content & Privacy Restrictions
Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode, then turn on Content & Privacy Restrictions."
If you'd like to see tweaks to how parental controls work on iPhone, we can recommend leaving feedback for Apple Support here: Product Feedback - Apple
Take care.

Derek,
Appreciate the response. We’ve used screentime for over 4 years now on her various devices. Unfortunately, even though I set up a time limit for app use it never actually works and she does not have to ask for permission to extend the time.
Any next level suggestions are appreciated.
thank you in advance.
