Keeping Your Child Safe Online

Tips for helping your child stay safe while online gaming.

• Maintain supervision of your child when they are playing games.
• Consider disabling in game chat functions if they are not critical to the game. If your child is playing games with voice chat, consider enabling the speakers so you can monitor discussions.
• Children should only play games with people they know and trust. However if your child is playing multiplayer games, encourage them to keep the topic about the game only.
• To protect personal information, help your child create a smart username and profile that gives out no personal details. It might be a nickname or a made up name.
• Learn how to block and report other players and inappropriate contact
