Tutu, I unfortunately have no fix for you, but just wanted to confirm you are not alone with intractable issues with Screen Time for families. Apple has promised fixes for this critical function over and over again, and it still a complete and total mess (for me).
And since your request is about a year old, please do let me know if you have since found a fix for this, or if any of Apple's software updates in the past year have fixed this for you.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support, I have managed to fix it by having physical access to the device I wanted to add to screen time. This cannot be done remotely. Thanks again
