How do I remove programs from a child account only. I want to be able to access them from my adult account so don’t want to delete it completely from my Mac. I want only the programs I give them access to on the Home Screen not all of my programs across the bottom.
Setup Screen time and App limits, and remove any apps from the dock on the child's account you don't want them using.

You can also set up DownTime for the child's account to be on always and restrict which apps they can use.
clic here ➜ Set time limits for apps and websites in Screen Time on Mac - Apple Support
Make sure you set a password for Screen Time so it cannot be modified without it. This password will be different to the user account password. And restrictions and limits will apply only the account they are set up for.

Depending on how I interpret your request, you are on a fundamentally bad path.
Allowing others access into your Apple Account means notifications will get routed there including those used for two-factor authentication, subscriptions can be deleted, new purchases billed, mail and messages and photos can be rummaged and can be permanently deleted, app and system settings and backgrounds tweaked, your saved passwords accessible, and myriad other issues you will absolutely learn about as your environment is incrementally corrupted.
And login passwords shared are seldom changed and too often known more widely than preferable.
Short version: Create a Family Sharing group, create an Apple Account, and lock that account down and particularly including enabling purchase restrictions, and create a new Mac login.
