To stop your son’s iPhone from receiving your text messages, ensure he isn't signed in with your Apple ID. On his iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Here, check the Apple IDs listed. If your Apple ID is present, tap it and select 'Sign Out'. Make sure he uses only his own Apple ID for iMessage to prevent shared messages. For added security, create a unique Apple ID for him under Settings > [Your Name] > Family Sharing if applicable.
