Child watch can see parent texts

My son's watch was setup from a parent's phone but he logs in with his own Apple ID. All the settings seems to be tied to his Apple ID except messages. All the parent messages are going to the son's watch. How to fix?

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
