How do I fix missing app requests from my child in Family Sharing?

I stopped receiving authorization for my children to download apps. they cannot get any apps until i approve them. this started happening after I changed region (I moved to Europe) and my child is in America.

In most cases, you have to leave your Family Sharing group in order to change regions:

Change your Apple Account country or region - Apple Support


Other features will not work when in a different region, such as Purchase Sharing:

Note: To share purchases, family members must be in the same Apple Account country or region. If a family member changes their Apple Account country or region, that person might lose access to other family members’ purchases, and installed apps that were shared from other family members might not work.


Not sure if you are using Purchase Sharing or not, but I suspect you are running into the same problem since the App Stores in each region are different. You can contact Apple directly for confirmation here:
