What can parents do?

  • Know and explore the games your child wants to play online to determine if the game is age-appropriate. Considerations may include:
    • Is the game moderated?
    • Does the game contain age-appropriate content?
    • Is there an interactive (chat) component in the game? Is this an optional feature that can be turned off?
    • Are there other optional features that can be turned off for safety?
    • Are there advertisements in the game that can redirect kids to other sites?
  • Review the game guidelines. Can you report any inappropriate activity?
  • Create your child’s login and password information. A parent or safe adult should always supervise the online activities of children this age.
