Like Choleni​ said, the parent account should be subscribed as the owner of the Horizon+ subscription. Now in the actual headset, under Settings->Profiles, select the toggle "share apps on this headset". You should also have your child's profile added here.

Now, using your parent account on the headset, you will have to open the library app and from the Horizon+ tab, select and install/redeem whatever games your child wants to play. After they have installed, your child should wear the headset logged in to their own profile. Now when they look in the Library app, they should see the games as being available to be downloaded and installed. They will still need to "install" them again, and it will send a permission request to your phone app. Once you give permission, the game should install into their profile.

Note: if the child is under 13, there may be some games (eg. rated Mature, etc) that cannot be installed regardless of parental control settings.

Hi JJMc91​ 🙂

If you are the admin of the headset you should be able to share your games with your son.

You must redeem the games from Horizon + with your account and turn on app sharing, so  your son will have access to that games.

He might have to send a request if the game has age restrictions.
