I would recommend that your child get his or her own Apple ID. If you just log in with your Apple ID, then your child will also receive your messages, photos, etc.


Once your child has their own Apple ID, you can use Family Sharing. Then you have 100% control over which apps your child downloads, screen time, etc.


Here you can see how to set up Family Sharing

If your child does not have an Apple ID:
