Child’s new phone

When initially starting my son’s new phone right out of the package, do I enter my Apple ID or his Apple ID that I created in Family Sharing?

Apple ID When I set up my son's iphone, I set it up with my apple id, because I didn't realize at the time that I should create a separate one for him and then just use family sharing. Is there any way to correct this now that the phone is already set up?
