Hi coolbluemom,
Could you take a look at the parental settings on the PSN account?
On the console, go to Settings > Family and Parental Controls > Family Management and select the child account to review the parental control settings. Double-check these:
- Is online play and Communication allowed?
- If not, change those to 'approved' and try the prompt in-game again.
- Double-check that you've allowed those options for your own account as well. And test it again after making that change.
- If not, change those to 'approved' and try the prompt in-game again.
- Are email communication or parental approvals blocked?
- If yes, that may be why the request can’t go through. Toggle the options to allow those and try again.
If the prompt issues persist after trying those few things, a possible workaround on the table would be to try sending the parent email using a mobile hotspot or from another device logged into the same PSN account (like a PC or mobile browser). Sometimes the issue can be caused by the internet connection. I know you mentioned the connection is solid in your home, so this would be just something to rule out the connection issue side of things.
