linking a child xbox live account to the local xbox 360 profile ?

I added my child as a family member to my MS account. She already has an outlook account which I also added to xbox live. How do I connect her local account to her xbox live account so that she keeps all her playing history from her local account ? I
tried entering her email under the console's "create a new xbox live account" , but that did not work.

I also tried creating the account for her on the xbox console, but it did not allow me because the child account must be created using a browser and logging into MS.

Thanks

:)

 

Problem converting Xbox 360 local profile to Xbox Live as a child's account

I have been reading through the forums and Google searches trying to figure out how to get my child's local Xbox 360 profile converted to an Xbox Live gamertag. From what I have been able to figure out, in order to create an Xbox Live account, you must
have a Microsoft account. I have a Microsoft account and created one for my child and authorized it via my parental Microsoft account, and paid the mandatory $.50 credit card charge for the child account authorization. The newly created child Microsoft account
is not set up for Xbox Live and does not have a gamertag associated to it. From there, we have logged into the local child's profile on the Xbox 360 and selected the "Join the fun" link in an attempt to convert the local Xbox 360 profile into an Xbox Live
gamertag. I step through the process, enter in my child's e-mail account for their Microsoft account, then the password and then get the following error:

Needs Parent Permission

To create an account for a child, go to Xbox.com. Select Sign in, then Create a new Microsoft account. You'll need your parent to give you permission.

Exit Signup

Why am I not able to complete this process? Did I have to create the child's Microsoft account from xbox.com instead of signup.live.com? Is it not possible to create a child's Xbox Live account from a local Xbox 360 profile?

Everything that I've read so far has indicated that ultimately it is not possible. Please confirm.

I have double and triple checked the basic info settings on both the parental account and the child account and they match up as one of the forum entries state to check for issues creating an Xbox Live account from a local profile.

Any explanation and assistance is appreciated.

 

Local profile to child's Live profile - is it possible?

My youngest has a Local profile on the 360. I just created a new Live child account for him, but I don't see a way to merge the local account to the Live.
