My child’s iPad defaults to my Apple ID, I have apple one family subscription. Hope do I set up her iPad on her own Apple ID for her own music?

When changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. If possible, also set up Family Sharing  between the IDs to keep access to your apps/purchases.

This did not help. I already have her in family sharing. She is 10. When she opens Apple Music; Apple Music on her iPad defaults to my Apple ID. I have it turned off to sync my library of music. I want her to have her own Apple ID (which is already set up and in family sharing) connected to her device in Apple Music so when she adds her own music it doesn’t add to mine, and Vice verse…
