how to add credits to app store for my kids

I just purchse a software for work. When I hit purchase, I never got a promt of how to pay, so I was credited directly to my card. But I remember seeing that my son had a few Euros still on our shared account from a Apple tunes card I got him a while ago so he can download games. So I want to top this up as Apple have taken the price of the software I got for work and obviusly used my son's credits as well as my credit card to make up the difference. Is there a way to sdd credits or even see a history of ballance and purchase?

The iTunes and Mac App Stores always uses any credits on the account first and then draws any debit balance from the bank card on the account.

You might consider creating Apple IDs for your children so that what they purchase is theirs and not forever tied to your Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another nor merge ID accounts. If you set up accounts for your children you can fund it with iTunes Gift Cards or you can set up an automatic monthly allowance until the day they are old enough to assume the funding of their own purchases.
