Need to have a separate iCloud account for daughter's iPod touch

Question

I would like to manage all my iOS devices under one appleID, but with separate icloud accounts for my two daughters, each with their own iPod.  How do I retain my Apple ID on daughter's iPod but have a separate iCloud address so that she doesn't receive my Messages, etc?
Thanks in advance.

You'll have to have separate iCloud accounts to have separate email addresses.  You can do this and still share the same iTunes account for purchasing.  There is no requirement that they be the same ID. 
To change the iCloud ID on each of your daughter's devices, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  If she is syncing any data with your iCloud account, when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On iPod.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  If they have any of your data in their new accounts, go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each of the accounts separately and delete it.
To prevent getting each other's text messages, use separate IDs for iMessage as well.  If you are currently sharing the same ID for iMessage, on each of their devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.
