If they are paid apps, you will need to sign into the App Store with the Apple ID that bought them to download them onto your other device or else pay for them again.

OR set up an Apple ID for your son to use on the other device and incorporate that into iCloud Family and use app sharing, but this won’t get you around certain kinds of in-app purchases.

Thank you; I hope I can manage this.

You’re welcome, I’m sure you’ll manage!

If there are no in-app purchases involved, or not so many that you’re not okay just rebuying them anyway, then iCloud Family setup with the two Apple IDs is probably easiest.

Also take a look at setting up a child Apple ID and setting up Screen Time on a child’s device. Particularly managing content and privacy controls.
