Will Letting my Son Play Roblox Ruin Our Relationship?
Will letting my son play Roblox ruin our relationship?
Not at all! It is true that letting him play Roblox adds another stressor to your relationship, but it does not have to ruin it. And if you both enjoy playing Roblox together, it can even bring you closer.
The important thing is that you set up clear rules before he starts playing:
- When is he allowed to play?
- For how long can he play?
- What games can he play?
- Who can he play with?
- What are the consequences if he breaks the rules?
It is also important that before you let him play Roblox, that you consider your child’s age. Roblox has an ESRB-assigned rating of T for Teen, with a content descriptor for Diverse Content: Discretion Advised. This means that Roblox has content that may not be appropriate for all ages. In addition, games in Roblox are all labelled so parents know if the content is OK for their kids. Roblox automatically sets certain defaults, depending on your kid’s age at the time of registration. This is why it is really important that you state your child’s accurate birthday on registration. In addition, you can also block games, limit the amount of time your son can play and his ability to spend real money, and you can choose to access your son’s friends lists.

Maravilloso artículo sobre la serie Adolescentes y consejos de gran ayuda en una etapa tan complicada de nuestros hijos , tan desprotegidos frente a las nuevas tecnologías.Es una ayuda tremenda para nosotros. Muchas gracias
I'd imagine this is quite deteremental for a childs development in the long run as nothing stays the same forever, and we shouldn't really be making these categorisations, especially towards our children.
Just live life, sometimes you'll have to be the parent that's the shoulder to cry on. The week after you may have to raise your voice a little when everyone is in a rush and you're trying to get your children's shoes on.
Just balance it all out, don't be too self critical and pick up on what your child wants and needs.
Again, great writeup!
Thank you so much for your comment. I totally get what you mean. It is always difficult to have kids living with you, wanting to support them and their parents but at the same time not wanting to step in anyone's toes. If there's anything we can do to support you and your family, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
