Guess you are not allowed to use Ads in child-directed Apps.

No, you are wrong. google allow developer to use Ads in child-direct Apps. but they have very difficult policy.

If your app targets children as an audience and you show ads in your app, you need to ensure your app complies with Google Play’s Families policy. AdMob offers the following tools for publishers to show ads that are compliant with Google Play’s Families policy.

If you are not using B4XPages, then it is better to put the MobileAds related code in the starter service.

I am not using B4XPages.
Is it enough to put the MobileAds related code in the starter service?

It should be in the starter service. Read the complete thread as there are several things that you need to do.

i read complete thread. i should add this lines:

Dim RequestBuilder As AdRequestBuilder
RequestBuilder .Initialize
RequestBuilder .As(JavaObject).RunMethod("setTagForChildDirectedTreatment", Array(1))
IAd.LoadAdWithBuilder(RequestBuilder)

and put the MobileAds related code in the starter service.

Sub Service_Create
    Dim m As MobileAds
    Wait For (m.Initialize) MobileAds_Ready
End Sub

I used the following code but program was rejected again.

Sub Service_Create
    Dim m As MobileAds
    Wait For (m.Initialize) MobileAds_Ready
    LogColor("After MobileAds_Ready", Colors.Magenta)
 
    Dim Builder As JavaObject = m.CreateRequestConfigurationBuilder(Array(Null))
'    Builder.RunMethod("setTagForChildDirectedTreatment", Array(1)) 'TAG_FOR_CHILD_DIRECTED_TREATMENT_TRUE
 
    Builder.RunMethod("setMaxAdContentRating", Array("G"))
    m.SetConfiguration(Builder)
 
End Sub

Sub Admob
    Ads.Initialize 'Interstitial
    CheckConsentAndAddAds
End Sub
Private Sub CheckConsentAndAddAds
'    Dim m As MobileAds
'
'    Wait For (m.Initialize) MobileAds_Ready
'    LogColor("After MobileAds_Ready", Colors.Magenta)
 
 
    If Ads.GetConsentStatus = "UNKNOWN" Then
        Wait For (Ads.RequestConsentInformation(False)) Complete (Success As Boolean)
    End If
    If Ads.GetConsentStatus = "REQUIRED" And Ads.GetConsentFormAvailable Then
        Wait For (Ads.ShowConsentForm) Complete (Success As Boolean)
    End If
    Log("Consent: " & Ads.GetConsentStatus)
    LoadAdmobAds
End Sub
Sub LoadAdmobAds
    Dim AdaptiveSize As Map = Ads.GetAdaptiveAdSize
 
    BannerAd.Initialize2("BannerAd", "ca-app-pub-********************", AdaptiveSize.Get("native"))
    Activity.AddView(BannerAd, 0, 100%y-AdaptiveSize.Get("height"), AdaptiveSize.Get("width"), AdaptiveSize.Get("height"))
    BannerAd.LoadAd
 
    IAd.Initialize("iad", "ca-app-pub-**************")
    IAd.LoadAd
 
    Ads.FetchRewardedInterstitialAd("ca-app-pub-*********", Me, "RewardedInterstitialAd")
    Ads.FetchRewardedVideoAd("ca-app-pub-***************", Me, "RewardAd")
    Ads.FetchOpenAd(AppOpenAdUnit, Me, "OpenAd")
