[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I play video games and I backpack and camp and hike. There is this thing called balance in life. Yes, we pay attention to the games DS wants to play and we investigated them before we let him play them when he was younger. Even now, we look at the game reviews before we let him play it, he is 13.

Video games are fun, there is nothing that says you can't have fun playing video games in a balanced manner. It is not a black and white thing.[/quote]

Well you are quite weird [/quote]

There’s nothing weird about them. What’s wrong with you?[/quote]
