    Changing a child's age

    Hi Jeff,

    Creating a child account allows you to block adult websites or specify which sites you want your kids to see. You can also set screen time limits to make sure they're not spending too much time in the virtual world. To change the age of a child account, kindly
    click this
    link
    and follow the steps provided.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.

  3. Changing a child's age

    my youngest child accidentally set up our eldest childs account and entered their age incorrectly. When i log into our family account as me (adult) i can see my child's account. When i select "manage profile" for our child it takes me to a site that tells
    me about privacy changes in the US and South Korea (we are in Australia...). There is no option to change anything. It does give me an option to change restrictions which simply takes me back to the overview screen on me and my children.... loops. Any ideas?

    thanks

    Change my child's age

    On my family page, clicking on "Manage my child's profile info" brings me to a random "Manage permissions" page explaining rules in countries other than my own (Canada). After looking online, it seems that I would have to log into my child's account to
    change his age... That makes no sense, he would just be able to change it back.

    Microsoft, please fix the link.

    Thank you.
