How to locally rotate a kinematic body but not its children?

I have some code set up to rotate my player node but the camera and all its other children nodes rotate as well. How do I just rotate the player and not its children?

Set the other objects as top level. That way transformations to them only happen in global wpace.
This can be done in the inspector or via code.
In the scripts of children add:

_ready():
    set_as_toplevel(true)
