local Checker = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerItem"):FindFirstChild(plr.Name):GetChildren()

ServerStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerItem"):FindFirstChild(plr.Name).ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)

You should make a ChildAdded function, and loop through the objects that are already there and establish a ChildAddedEvent in the folder.


local function onChildAdded(child)
      if child:IsA("NumberValue") then
            child.Changed:Connect(function(prop)
                   local Names = child.Name
                   local Amount = child.Value
                   print(Names, Amount)
            end)
      end
end
ServerStorage:WaitForChild("PlayerItem"):FindFirstChild(plr.Name).ChildAdded:Connect(onChildAdded) -- establish a .ChildAdded Event.
for _, child in pairs(ServerStorage.PlayerItem:FindFirstChild(plr.Name):GetChildren()) do -- loop through the children alredy there!
      onChildAdded(child)
end

If this works, please mark this as an answer
