I strongly suggest you get your grandson his own Apple ID.
This article should help, although some of the "Family Sharing" did go away with iOS 8.4.
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
The "Create an Apple ID for your (grand)child" and linked "Apple ID for Students" portions should help you.
