Kids downloading parents’ apps without approval

This comment is about getting approval from a parent before a child may download an app. When my kid wants to download a new app onto her iPad from the App Store, the parent/child feature generally requires her to get my sign-off. That is how it should work.


But there seems to be a loophole:


If, in the App Store, she goes to "Purchased" apps, and then switches from herself to me, she can download any app I've downloaded without seeking approval.


Is there a setting I can change to prevent this? If not, will Apple consider changing this, so kids can't download all of their parents' apps without supervision?


Thanks very much.
