Q: Prevent a Family's child Apple ID from downloading a previously-purchased app
I would like to prevent a child Apple ID in our Family Sharing family from downloading apps, particularly apps that have been downloaded in the past.
I can require that the child gets permission in order to install new apps, however apps that our family has previously purchased can be downloaded by the child's Apple ID without parental permission.
Suggestions? Thank you.

That is not a feature that is currently available. See here: "If a family member downloads a previous purchase again, downloads a shared purchase, installs an update, or uses a redemption code in the store, the organizer won't get a notification."Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
