[...]I had to create an email account for my son to do this. Why can't you just use his gametag name to identify him? So it didn't work and trouble shooting said something about having him sign in with his account?? But when he signs in, it only
asks for his password, not an email address. How do I get this to work????

What console are you using?

The reason why your son needs his own e-mail address is, because the system is based on a person's Microsoft Account. By having the settings on the Microsoft Account, the screen time limits are enforced on EVERY device your son signs in, be it his own Xbox
console, a Windows 10 PC, his friends console where he goes to visit and so on.

By having the parental settings applied to his Microsoft Account email, these settings roam with your kid wherever he signs in to use the device.

This page here explains how to properly add an account to a Xbox One console.

Make sure your son's account was added to your own parent account. You can check that, by signing in with YOUR parent account on
