    Problems adding a child on the family account

    Hello,

    We're here to help.

    You might be facing this issue due to the account is not configured properly.
    Kindly refer to the steps below on how to reconfigure your
    Family Safety feature for your Windows 10 device.

    To remove a child

    • From a web browser, go to
      http://account.microsoft.com/family       and sign in with the Microsoft account of an adult in the family.
    • To remove a child, choose Remove at the top of the section labeled
      Select a child to view or edit their settings.
    • Select the person you want to remove from the family.
    • Select the Remove button that appears when you've chosen the person to remove.

    To add a child to your family

    • Sign in at
      account.microsoft.com/family      .
    • If this is your first time setting up a family, select Add a child.

      If you've already added child accounts to your family, go to Select a child to view or edit their settings and then select
      Add.
    • Enter your child's email address and select Send invite. If your child doesn't have an email address, select
      Create a new email address for your child and follow the instructions on the screen.

    Your child will need to accept the invite from their email.

    Do note, you need to accept the email invitation from a device with the Child account currently logged in.

    Let us know how it goes and we will be glad to assist you further.

    Problems adding a child on the family account

    Hi,

    After your child accepted the invitation, did you have him/her sign in to Windows 10 using the same email address you sent the invitation to?

    That will be the last step in adding your child to your family.

    Kindly refer to the link below.

    Adding a child family member

    Thanks for your reply. Here are my responses to your questions.


    • Adult accounts - set to administrator? How many?
      Yes set to admin. Two are, however both aren't connected to my son's account, only mine shows connection to his.

    • Child accounts - set to child and connected to a Microsoft Account? How many?
      Yes, one child account is connected.

    • Does
      account.microsoft.com/family       show your family correctly?
      When I log in with my email, it shows my son as a child on my account.
    I don't know what this statement means.
    Section for the kids - should show a line item for each MSA (where settings will be applied to all Windows 10 and Windows Phone devices), and a separate line for each other non-Windows 10 device connected to the Family service.
