Settings>iCloud - delete the iCloud account
Settings>iTunes & App Store - make sure your Apple ID is signed on there
You might want to consider getting him his own Apple/iTunes/iCloud ID. You can still put your credit card info on a new ID which would allow him to continue to purchase items with, but would keep his and your other things (like mail, messages, etc.) separate.
