Should have guessed. Create an Apple ID for your child and then remove yours from their phone and sign in with the new on on their phone. Also turn off iMessage and FaceTime and sign back in with the new one. After that click on the second link I provided to you in order to set up Family Sharing (you will be able to approve/disapprove any apps your child wants, etc.) then read the other link to set up Screen Time on their phone.


If you have problems with following the links you can call AppleCare or make a Genius Bar appointment and they will be glad to help you.
