For Parents
Parents
Gaming is a natural part of your child's life. We're here to help you understand it — with honest information, not panic.
Want to know more about gaming?
Our free guide covers age ratings, screen time, online safety and more.
How much gaming is too much for my child?
There’s no universal number — but research suggests balance, not restriction, is key. Look at sleep, schoolwork and social life as indicators rather than clock hours alone. Read our full guide →
What do PEGI ratings actually mean?
PEGI ratings (3, 7, 12, 16, 18) indicate the minimum age for which a game is suitable. They also include content descriptors for violence, language, in-app purchases and more. Learn about PEGI →
Are there real benefits to playing games?
Yes — research shows gaming can improve problem-solving, spatial reasoning, resilience and social skills. Multiplayer games in particular can build teamwork and communication in children and teens.
How do I handle in-game purchases and loot boxes?
Set up parental controls and spending limits through the platform (PlayStation, Xbox, App Store, Google Play). Most platforms allow you to require approval for all purchases — we recommend enabling this by default.
My child only wants to play games — should I be worried?
Passion for games is normal and often healthy. If gaming is affecting sleep, school or relationships, that’s worth addressing — but the goal is balance, not banning. Our guide can help →
