Online Gaming

Playing online games has changed dramatically with many consoles offering multi-player functionality meaning kids can play with friends at homes and across the world. While many games have educational value, not all are suitable for children so find out what games your children are playing and try playing them yourself. This way you can discover if the game has inappropriate content, offers reporting tools and has privacy features. You should also check the classification on the cover for age compatibility and use parental controls to set limits, restrict internet access, and block in-game purchases. You can also disable chat features that allow interaction with other players and check reviews to learn if a game has unsuitable content.
