How to delete an App from an iPhone with parental control?

Hi, Id like to uninstall an app from my kids phone, but by holding the app I don't see an option to uninstall it anywhere, only to remove it from home page.

The parental control is on and Ive read that you have to turn it off to uninstall apps. Is there any other way to uninstall other then disabling parental control

You will have to disable the parental controls and enable them again after deleting the app.

In case this is a default iOS app, you might not be able to delete it:
