Go to Settings/Screen Time and add a passcode if there isn’t one already; then in Screen Time:

Content & Privacy Restrictions and turn it on
Set Location Services to Don’t Allow Changes
After making sure cellular data is ON, set Cellular Data Changes to Don’t Allow

This still won’t prevent them from putting the phone into Airplane Mode or putting it into a Faraday bag; for that you need more traditional parenting approaches, such as suggesting taking the phone away and replacing it with a dumb flip phone, or other consequences if they can’t be located with Find My.

I’m assuming that they are already in your Family Sharing group and you have implemented parental controls→Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
