If you mean that your parents didn’t receive the Child Tax Credit for you and were eligible, they can still file a tax return for tax years 2021 and 2022. They must file a 2021 tax return by April 18, 2025 and a 2022 tax return by April 18, 2026.
If they filed the tax returns for 2021 and 2022 but didn’t claim the Child Tax Credit and were eligible, they can file an amended tax return for those years. Again, they must file an amendment for 2021 by April 18, 2025 and an amendment for 2022 by April 18, 2026.
Your parents can review the IRS link to determine if they are eligible:
