You don't enter your child's income on you return. It would go on his own return if he made enough to have a filing requirement.

Your child will need to prepare his own tax return for 2018 if he received a 2018 W-2 if he is required to file a tax return at all.

The charts starting on page 9 in the instructions linked below define who has to file a tax return. Be sure you look at the headers of the charts.
