Need to move games to my son's account
Before my son was old enough to have his own steam account, I would purchase games and he would play using my account. He is old enough now for his own account. Is there any way to move his games to his new account?

Thanks

No.

You can Family Share available titles.

All games are tied to the account they were purchased on.

Digital game services do not allow transfer of license to another account.

Children can have an account if below minimum age, but they're not allow to make one on their own, as that where parent or Guardian make it for them, and is managed by them. There even family parental control on Steam that limits child from having access to things.

What you can do is Family Sharing between the accounts.

Please note family sharing has limits, which if you, and your child try to play same time, and your child trying to play game from your library, he won't be able to play due to you playing same time, as only one shared library can be active at a time, but if you, and your child were playing games same time, that not playing shared games, basically your child has his/her own copy on his/her account, it won't be an issue, as not sharing Library.
