Trying to set up an alias in my icloud account for my son.

I have just created a second email (an alias) in my icloud account for my 11 year old son. What do I use as a password for this? I am trying to use mine and it won't take when we try to set up the email in his new Itouch.

You can't used the alias as a login. Aliases are not accounts, simply additional addresses which deliver into the inbox alongside messages to the promary address. You will need to set your son's device up with your iCloud account, using the same login and password. Both of you will then have access to all emails delivered to both addresses, and of course he will have full access to everything on your account (including the ability to buy items from the iTunes Store with your credit card).
