Need help with managing time limit for my son whose gamertag is use my email address

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

Parent and child accounts on Xbox are designed to help parents manage their children’s gaming activities. A parent account is the primary account that can create and manage child accounts. Child accounts are created for children under the age of 18 and are linked to the parent account. The parent account can set up parental controls, such as screen time limits, content restrictions, and spending limits, for each child account.

You cannot change your account to be a child account. You will have to create a new account for your child.

To create a child account, the parent account must first create a family group. The family group can have up to six members, including the parent account. Once the family group is created, the parent account can add a child account to the group. The child account will be linked to the parent account and will have access to the parent account’s Xbox Live Gold subscription and other benefits.

I hope this helps.

The gamertag shown is my son's. I used my email address but that is his tag/account. Thanks for getting us some help with this.

You will need to put an alternate email address onto the gamertag in order to free up your existing email address.

Dear AnimatorX:

Thanks very much for your response.

It's sounding rather bleak in terms of a solution to managing my son's XBox times without losing gamertag information.

Might you have any ideas at all, on how to manage or even just monitor times the XBox is in use (effectively me seeing how much time it's on)?

Then at least I could have a discussion if he exceeds his daily limit (which would be under my email).

Appreciate any help you can give.

Regards,

Could you please have a look at this link to switch your sons gamertag to the correct email address
