Standalone iPhone for child (alien.top)

Hi. Old iPhone SE I need to set up for my son. Completely reformatted. No other iPhones on the Apple account anymore. Is there a shortcut to directly set this up for a kid? Objective: Disable specific apps, don't allow installs and set bedtime limits. Apple assumes I have a "Parent" phone. And when they don't, the instructions don't match anything on the screen. In fact, screen time is only accessible after answering several prompts and then it gives errors when I enter account info (seems to allude to another account (child?) but not prompting for it). OS version is 15.8 (probably the last supported OS for this phone)

Well you know Apple, they want you to have an iPhone too.
