Replacing Apple ID on iPad

I’m trying to replace my email with my 12 yo son’s email as the Apple ID on his iPad. His iPad says this email address is not available. Choose a different address. I don’t want my son having access to my texts and emails. His iPad is acting like a clone to my phone. What can I do?

iPad, iPadOS 17

You need to follow the steps in this link to clear all your

information from the iPad:

Once the iPad has been cleared, then you can set it up as a new iPad

using your son's AppleID. Just logging out of your AppleId is not

sufficient.
