Disable app store asking for password at every install

I set-up a new iPhone for my child and added in Family.

The problem I have is that every time my child installs something from App Store, the application keep asking to sign-in with password.

I disable everything I could (ask to buy, app store password from Media&Purchases, enable/disable faceId, enable/disable iMessage and FaceTime, etc.) and App Store keep asking for my password.

I don't know what else to do right now to disable this.

On all devices I have iOS 16.6 and I don't want to upgrade to 17 considering the bad experiences a lot of people have.

Can someone help me with a solution to stop AppStore asking for password?

Thank you.

heavily invested in the apple ecosystem. It is simply too clunky and buggy nowadays.

The last workaround I was offered by Apple Support before they handed me back to a chatbot was to reset all settings - that didn’t work either, so basically a waste of time.
