My WordPress child theme style.css styles not updating on page.

I have created a child theme to override my parent theme. From what I see, everything seems to be laid out correctly, but when I enter any custom CSS to my child's style.css file, none of the code renders on page. Please see functions.php and style.css code for my child theme below. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.

FUNCTIONS.PHP BELOW:

<?php function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {

$parent_style = 'parent-style'; // This is 'twentyfifteen-style' for the Twenty Fifteen theme.

wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
    get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
    array( $parent_style ),
    wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);

} add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' ); ?>

STYLE.CSS BELOW:
