Hi Rainbow-2023,

You might want to check she is signed in to her iPad with her Apple ID:
Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support
Wondering if you have set restrictions on her purchases: If you want, you could change the settings:
How to: Manage App Store purchases, subscriptions, settings, and restrictions on iPhone - Apple Support
or
Require a password for App Store and iTunes purchases - Apple Support
or
What to do: If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Else: If you turn on purchase sharing, everyone in your family gets access to the apps, music, films, TV shows and books that family members buy from Apple.
