How do we prevent a child adjusting their time zone to avoid parental controls, specifically downtime?

Under settings > screen time > content & privacy restrictions > there is no "Location Services" option. On both my phone and computer the option is "Privacy / Share my location (allow/don't allow)". That's the only reference to location on that page that I can see when managing screen time for my children. Please provide additional guidance to what you have provided above. Apple has an extreme responsibility for the mental health of children and it is imperative that you work on proper working controls. The app is very buggy and hard to manage and fails to live up to Apple's promise to take proper and reasonable steps for the protection of children and teen mental health.
@olyashu1
Did you do last step as well: Then go back to Location Services and set this to "Don't Allow Changes." ?
@Mr_TW
Yes, I did. I tried all possible variations. I also tried to set this limit to myself on my parental device. Nothing works. I tried toggling both of ways, etc.
This no longer works. Used to. Not anymore. Apple needs to make this work again.
This no longer works. Now what?
This option no longer appears available. Huge loophole in screen time
I have the same issue, did you find a solution?
I am finding the same issue. I cannot stop my son from changing the date and time.
You provided the missing link! I am so grateful. It is missing step. Thank you!
Thanks
At the beginning I had the Parental Controls on.
Turning off and on is meant turning all Parental Controls off and on. So yes, it’s called "Turn off App & Website Activity".
Has it stayed greyed out? I thought I had it working properly and then a few hours later my child was able to change it again. Any help would be amazing! It’s been a struggle!
This finally worked for me too. Thank you!
This worked!! Thank you! I tried everything else until you came along. Very grateful
This worked for me. Thank you!
These steps worked perfectly and fixed our teenagers little red wagon! No more changing time zones to bypass screen time for him! Thanks so much for your help!
