Google parental control Family link app doesn't ask for approval

I've setup google parental control on my children phone, they ask for approval to install a game and i approved it, later i changed my mind and uninstall it from there phone, but they went to play store a re-install it, but this time family link didn't ask for my approval, it's just installed it and showed me a notification that it's been installed. What i want is that whenever they install anything, no matter it was once approved or millions times, google play must ask them for my approval each time it's reinstall.

This solution outlined below will not work, but I did read it as a proposed solution elsewhere online. I thought I would include it and mention it with this warning.

  1. Open the Play Store app
  2. Select the account icon in the upper right corner
  3. Choose the Manage app & device from the popup menu
  4. Select Manage
  5. Click Installed
  6. Select Not Installed
  7. Select all applications you wish to remove in checkable list
  8. Click the Trash Can icon in the upper right corner

This would disassociate the application from the account in an ideal world; however, it does not and the child account can still reinstall the offending applications. The parent is notified of this installation, but they cannot prevent it.
