Should my son have the same Apple ID as I do

I just purchased my son an iPhone.. Should he and I have the same Apple ID? Or should he have his own?

He should have his own. Otherwise, you will be deleting each others contacts.

You can share the iTunes and App store apple ID, but use separate id's for imessage icloud, and facetime.

Also, take a look at parental controls:
