Yes. Make sure that they buy and redeem gift cards to their own account that are sufficient to cover their purchases.


"If you're in a Family Sharing group, purchases are charged to your personal Apple ID balance. If you don't have enough Apple ID balance to pay for the purchase, the remainder is charged to the family organizer's primary payment method."
