Not directly, but if you create Family Sharing and add the 12 year old’s Apple ID to the family group then you can enable Ask to Buy, and allow the child to make purchases that you approve using your payment method→Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support


Caveat: Once a minor belongs to a family group they cannot be removed, only moved to a different family group.
