Hi,
Please note that the time spent as someone who has acquired the right of residence is counted towards the 5 years residence required to obtain PR, this is confirmed by caselaws. Also it is in accordance with regulations 2006.
In hindsight it might have probably be best to have not included the CSA, but it make little difference to you right of residence.
Your child has right of residence under Regulation 1612/68, which was in some part reppealed by the citizenship directive.
However the part which provide for children of Migrant worker or former migrant worker in school in the memberstate still applies.
The applications should be pretty straightforward.
You could write a cover letter stating the relevant provisions you are applying under.
