Screen Time settings not locked

Detection

Lock Screen Time Settings was never completed or the parent cannot confirm it is active.

Fix (technical)

EN: after Screen Time setup, choose Lock Screen Time Settings and create the Screen Time passcode. DE: use the verified Bildschirmzeit and Bildschirmzeit-Code labels; confirm the exact sub-label on the current device. [apple-screen-time; apple-parental-controls-de]

Fix (relational)

Tell the child how to request an exception and when a parent will answer.

Residual risk

A lock cannot replace account hygiene and calm handling of requests.
