The safety of online games for children and parents

While children pick up a console and headphones to play their favorite video games, companies are working through the game industry to ensure that all their players are safe on their paintings. “We offer some family management tools that will help them create an experience revolving around borders and joint conversations that are not really controlled, but more about communication,” says Sean Whitcomb, director of the children’s interaction and education program at Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Young players and their parents can prepare safety tools together to ensure a fun and safe game environment. Since these features are aimed at giving families full control of what it is, and is not shared online, while young players also allow to enjoy their favorite titles. “We are making it easy to do so a safe experience that everyone feels,” says Whitcomb.

In addition to creating parents’ controls, Whitcomb encourages parents to actively participate in the lives of their children. It suggests that one of the best ways to understand what your child plays is to join them. He suggests, “Perhaps capturing the console and playing with them as well. This may be one of the easiest ways to understand what your child suffers from.”

And when it comes to those who play your children, Whitcomb says that parents should deal with the digital world like the stadium, “It is more like this person? How old are they? Where do they live? And why do you want to spend more time with them?

According to Whitcomb, you can also score points with your children using Sony parental control features to encourage better habits away from the screen, including more game time as a reward to do homework all over the home.
