Where do I find an ask to buy notification?
I get notification when my daughter wants to buy something but if I don't respond right away I can't find where to approve the purchase? Any advice?

Hi Chelle7219,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to know how to address an Ask to Buy request after the initial notification has gone. You can do this by accessing Notifications on either your Mac or iOS Device.
Make or decline a purchase
If you're the organizer, you can use these steps to make or decline the purchase from your iOS device with iOS 8 or Mac with OS X Yosemite:
- Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. (See your notifications on your Mac or iOS device.)
- Approve or decline the purchase.
- If you approve, you need to sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase.

I Have exactly the same problem. I checked Notifications Center and nothing's there. What should I add to Notifications Center to see "Ask to buy" requests?
Swipe/Pull down from the top of your phone to find your Notifications then swipe from right to left to see all the notifications you have and scroll through them to find the permission requests
If you don't have the notification then your child might have to resend the request...you may have cleared the requests from your Notification Center.
If you're not receiving them at all check that it's turned on under "Settings/iCloud/Family/
