I shared my AppleId (Family Sharing) before our new iPhones and he didn't see my texts or photos. Now, with the new phone some setting has changed and he's them.

You shouldn't share your Apple ID.

Apple ID is not meant to be shared, and if you do that's the problem you are getting now.

The right way to share your apps, books and music purchases, read here => Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support

Restore your child's iPhone to factory settings => Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

Use this link for your child => Create an Apple ID for your child - Apple Support
