Family Sharing is tied to the Apple ID, not specific devices.
As long as the Apple ID that is part of the Family Group is signed into the devices, they can be used in Family Sharing directly. There's nothing else that needs to be done.
Just make sure both devices are using the child's Apple ID for iTunes & App Stores, and iCloud, and Family sharing should automatically be available.

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, Dukes_Family19.
If I understand your post correctly, your child has one device with their own Apple ID already and you're trying to add a second device for them with the same Apple ID. I’d like to help.
They'll just need to sign in on the new device with the same Apple ID.
