iPad purchases

My 7 year old son has an iPad with my Apple ID. How do I make it so he CANNOT purchase from the iPad? I still want him to be able to download FREE apps. I have 4 other devices associated with my Apple ID and I don't want them to be affected.

iPad, iOS 13

Create his own Apple ID with Family Sharing and restrict his ability to download and make purchases. See this, Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


Using your Apple ID for his device is not a good idea to start with.
