Child keeps making purchases on my account

My 12 year old keeps making in-app purchases on my Apple account/card. I have changed all her settings but it still keeps happening. You all will not approve my "report a problem" requests any longer. How do I stop this? She is doing it from an iPhone and an iPad.

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15

See Apple's parental control options outlined in the following links. Also, I would highly suggest changing the Screen Time passcode to something they will not know and that is not a passcode used to unlock any devices in the house.
