All IPhones are upgraded to IOS12. Data is shared, I am set up as parent with both kids set up as children on my account. One child is showing up on Screentime but his Screentime graph is not appearing so I cannot allocate time by specific app. Second child isn't even showing up as a child on my phone to allow me to manage his screentime.
Cannot find an solutions online about this. Should not be this hard.

iOS 12, Screentime usage
I turned screen time off and turned it on again and now it is tracking her time. i Will reply if it stops tracking time.
Another parent recomended that I turn the Screentime off and then on for your child. Both my kid's data showed up when I did that so hopefully, the data should appear. Wifi access should not change the feedback. Kids can change how data is reported back if they can change Apple ID's so I always double check they can't change accounts via the security features.
Hope that helps.
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
I have a similar problem. After setting up screentime it reports for a few days and then stops reporting. I cannot see any of the graph usage data from my child. I reset screen time and after a few days the same thing happened.

Do you have Family Sharing set up?
Yes it is set up. Finally, after sending this issue through on this site, it was corrected and now is showing up on my device. It took a week and this post. Glad it's finally working. Still can't see their screen time usage however.
This works, but it loses the data over the past two months I’d been storing on the kids app usage to sit down and discuss limits. This is an important function that is being given lip service by Apple IMHO.
The kids age should setup the restrictions, we should be able to setup a passcode rather than a PIN and TouchID should work with it as well. It would cost approx £20k for a decent security company to try and bypass ScreenTime to allow Apple to lock it down as well.
Am I the only one who thinks this?
Oh I have buddy, but unless others do then nothing happens.
I used to think that Microsoft family was good, the potential with ScreenTime is massive. Only issue is that there isn’t even a dedicated ScreenTime section. 😢
Yes same problem here. Unbelievable that it took years for them to finally get this functionality, and it doesn't work.
And turning it off and back on really isn't a good workaround - I assume then I'll have to set up all the restrictions again, some of which are custom.
Yes! That worked for both of my kids. Thank you.
Hope this is something that Apple will fix in IOS!?
Ok, just did!
I am having the same problem. i can’t see my children’s usage. She goes to the library during the day. Does changing WiFi networks cause reporting problems.
Look back on this thread for suggestions. I have been able to make it work with the adjustments above.
Can't see child's screentime
