Yes. You can create a new Apple ID for them here www.appleid.apple.com and then log out of their iPhone that has your Apple ID. Then log back in again with the new Apple ID.

So tell me if I understanding this right I can log out of my Apple ID on my Apple device ie iPhone, iPad, iPod and log back in with a different Apple ID and password and be able to use the same device the same way you can use a Windows computer by using a different user account and password and be able to setup parental controls for that Apple ID
