Remove iMessage from child’s ipad

my Apple ID is used to purchase games for my child’s iPad but I don’t want my iMessages or FaceTime linked to his iPad. How do I disable it on his but still use it on mine?

iPad, iPadOS 18

Everybody gets their own Apple Account. No sharing.


Create an Apple Account for your child - Apple Support


Set up Family Sharing: Family Sharing - Apple


Enable Ask to Buy: Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support


If your child is inclined, they will be able to bypass Parental Controls, and on an allowance-scale budget.
