On the child account, you can't sign in to any Microsoft page on any device and application at all?

If this can help, sometimes I get an error message: 0x800704cf. I tried rebooting my Wi-Fi connection, my laptop and the router. All the app requiring a Microsoft account connection aren't working. I tried Windows Store, Xbox App, OneDrive and all of my
Microsoft games, none of them are working, all the same error. I do not have any error while trying to access Xbox or OneDrive on my internet browser.
