A:

Clear the device first.

What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Then set it up as a new device in your child's account.

Devices don't join Family Sharing, Apple ID's do.

Sign out of the current Apple ID on the device you want to "move" and then sign in again with the other Apple ID.

As pointed out, if you want to remove all existing content first, follow the article given.
