Why can't I approve my son's (8yrs old) sign into Minecraft?

Hi Marc.
My name is Renato.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Probably the error you're encountering is a result of child accounts requiring approval or parental consent, which is crucial for ensuring the safety of children.

To solve this situation, you must add your son as a family member.

Sign in to the app with your Microsoft account, and then select Continue.

Select the green Accounts icon in the top-right of the Family screen, and then select Add child > Add existing account.

Enter the email address of the member whom you want to add, and then select Send invitation > Done.

After the user confirms joining the family group, pull down on the Family screen of the app to refresh the list of users.

Choose "Finish setting up" for the newly added account, and then follow the instructions displayed on the screen to personalize the account settings. This includes configuring options like age, content restrictions, and social and multiplayer privileges.

Select All done.

When you return to the Family screen, verify that the account appears under Member for their role in the family group.

Pointless,nothing else to say,only that my 8yr old son thought it 2 be a waste of his time,lol

Hi, my 8yr old son is desperate to play with someone else in Minecraft xbox 360. He is a DanTDM fan amongst others! He has a headset that we haven't tried yet, so may need a little help! He only plays under supervision on my gamertag: . Poor child!x

Megamind, Pixar's UP, Sonic and Sega All-Star Racing (kart racing) and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs are favorites for my 8yrs son

I was trying to purchase a minecraft for my son on his PC, and it said that a message was sent to parent approval and would let him know when it was approved. I have no idea where this approval is being sent. I don't see it in any of the emails that we have in our family.
