Default SSDI Since 2006 My Child Gets No Benefits

Hello, I have been on SSDI since 2006, I have been a stay at home mom off and on, or just worked part-time before 2006. I receive $621 in SSDI benefits and don't qualify for SSI because my husband is working.
When I got the phone call that I was approved for disaility in 2006, they told me that my daughter wouldn't get any benefits because I hadn't worked enough. She was 12 at the time.
After reading through the SSA web site, I am more confused than ever.
Why can't my daughter get any benefits on my disability? I read that most children get half of their parent's benefit.
Could someone help me?
Thank you in advance.
