Creating child profile

I searched the forums for this and found nothing so I apologize is this is a duplicate post. I have my own account. I want to create another profile for my 8 year old son. When I go to add it asks for an e-mail, my son doesn't have an e-mail account. Why
can't I just create a profile?

:)

 

Creating profiles...,

I have added my other half but that was porting it across from her Offline profile on my Gold Xbox live account

I know what you mean though, when I was trying to add her my username was ghosted and it became a 1 at the end. No idea how you actually add a user and then add the name sorry

 

Creating profiles...,

Has anyone created additional profiles on their Ones for family members etc (not new accounts)?

I think I have but it had just appended my gamer tag with a "1", I can't see how to rename? On my 360 I had multiple profiles for various 'situations' and each was named accordingly. Any one else?

 

The Xbox One console is set up for online services which would require an email. I'm not fond of my son having an email address for Xbox Live either but I created a separate email address for him that I control and he has no access to.

 

Thank you onyx. I remembered I had an extra e-mail that I never use so I setup an account for him. Thx again.
