I am getting alerts on the phone and in email from apple to constantly to enter my password to unlock my apple account.
I have 12 devices for my family! This is time consuming and ridiculous! I got 7 Monday, 5 Tuesday, 10 Yesterday and 12 Today! This isn’t even the first time it happened.

Are you sharing an AppleID between multiple users? If yes, this is ill advised - as you run the very real risk of being locked-out of your Apple Account.
Every user should have their own unique AppleID. This is essential to maintain intended separation of activities and to avoid unintended sharing of unintended information and account credentials.
You may find this information to be helpful with setting-up an AppleID for a minor - and in considering appropriate controls while continuing to share Apps and paid Apple services if you should choose to do so:

Help your child set up an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Family Sharing and Apple ID for your child – Apple Support
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad and iPod touch – Apple Support

In addition to LotusPilot’s advice, be certain each Apple Account uses Two-Factor Authentication.

Thank you and I get that is probably ideal for tween or another other adults but my “other users” are children ages 2-9 in one household. I personally use 3 of the 12 devices. 4/5 of the kids cant even read. Having 5 children with 5 accounts would be a nightmare. It is bad enough having multiple screaming kids when all the ipad stops working multiple times in a row multiple days in a row. Those additional accounts require multiple passwords, multiple account names that i have to manage whos ipad is who’s along with log in and, there is no time for this. They do not have passwords on the ipads. They only have 2 pbs kids apps (games and videos), are wifi only devices and do not leave my home. I am forced to use an apple account because they require a log in to download apps and update. The equipment is logged into and none even sync together. I just want the harassment to stop for unlocking an account.
