[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can teach your kid about the potential threats on any video gaming platform as well as social media outlet.  Just controlling, controlling, controlling can and does backfire on parents as the kid ages up. There is nothing inherently wrong with Roblox or Minecraft, or the like.  It’s when kids don’t understand the danger of unknown bad actors, or they play nonstop with no other outlets, that’s when these things become bad. Use these times as talking times and get the kid to come up with a plan of limits on the devices and games.  Enable them to set a timer and then monitor their follow through. There are (gasp) educational aspects in some of the [b]millions of games available on Roblox.  I would encourage you (yes, you parent) to get an account to see what you like, what you don’t like, and what is attractive to the young folk.[/b] I promise it’s not scary.  You may have fun. But, you will learn something from the adventure. [/quote]

I mean who has time to find a handful of redeeming games out of millions?  Let me guess, you were game addicts too.[/quote]

Who has time to find the worthwhile books, movies, or podcasts? I don't know man sometimes you have to do some work to be a parent.[/quote]
