XBL and Child's Account

Set the console as your Home console. Then he can access Gold without your account needing to be signed in and you can change your settings to require a password to login. https://beta.support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

Thanks for the quick reply. I have previously set the XBox as my home console and have double checked it is still that way.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks again!

Have you set up a family account for yourself and the child that has XBL Gold (ie parent account with Gold, Child 1 has access as defined by parent account)? This would be best to control unauthorized purchases but would limit game sharing as only the Parent
account would be able to play on the non Home console.

If you haven't created a Family and have simply purchased XBL Gold for Child 1 then you can share that with Child 2 by game sharing:

• The console that Child 2 uses should be set as the Home console for Child 1 account
• The Child 1 account would download the applicable games to both consoles
• The Child 1 account would use the non Home console while logged in with his XBL account
• I recommend setting a custom pass code on purchases if you don't want unauthorized purchases made if you have added your CC to the console.

A child account will not be promoted to an adult account until the 18th birthday of the account holder. The is no way to change the birthdate on an XBL account.

Does your son have a CHILD account or an ADULT account? It would be determined by the birth date you/he entered when creating his account. If he has a CHILD account then there are settings you can adjust to allow/disallow purchases/content
on XBL.
