Hey Kristen,

Thank you for reaching out. From what I understand, you recently created a new account using your information but would like hand it down to your son. Unfortunately, there is no way of converting adult accounts into child accounts and vice versa. In order
to properly setup a family giving you control over his account, you will need to create a new account using his information and a proper date of birth. Check out our

Family Accounts page for more details on how to get this rolling. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, in order to use parental controls for him, you would have to create a new account for him so it could be a child account. He would still be able to access the games that are on the original account, but his progress would not carry over
so he would have to start over.

That is what I thought but sometimes there are ways to transfer or tips and tricks so I wanted to double check thank you.... will have to figure something else out because I can't make him start over......
