Not asking for password when updating apps

I am running version 9.3.1 on my iPad and since updating it no longer requests my Apple ID password to authorise updates to apps.

I have looked at the restrictions, they are on but there is no 'immediately' option for the password, only 'always require' which is selected or 'after 15 minutes'

My son (4 years old) uses my iPad so I would prefer anything associated with my iTunes account require my password before changes can be made.

Thank you in advance.

iPad, iOS 9.3.1

Manage your iTunes Store and App Store password preferences - Apple Support

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Tap Settings > App and iTunes Stores > Password Settings. If you have Touch ID turned on for purchases, you won't see this menu.
Under Purchases and In-App Purchases, tap the setting you want.
Under Free Downloads, tap Require Password to turn the setting on or off.
When prompted, enter your password. Then tap OK.
