Yes I understand the feeling of wanting to get them of your back. as I did it to get them of my back to biggrin.gif

What You can try is reduce the time gradually, and I think your daughter is at the age that she can already be reasoned with. I noticed that girls are easier to discuss with as compared to boys even at the same age. Start introducing them with activities to keep them occupied. I start mine with colourig and now they already moved to drawing stuff themselves. This actually kept them occupied for quite sometimes. Take note tho what works for mine might not work for yours. Just google for ideas to get them occupied. This is a long tiresome process but my advice is start them early as the longer you wait the harder it will get.

Possible to make them do coloring/drawing after they tried roblox???

My kids also behavior change if they play smart devices for consecutive days. Already went through multiple cycles where i ease the restriction then they go mental then ban. Now just started 1 hour screen time per day when all task done, penalty them by screen time reduction for any violation.

Roblox is like hard drugs. They always go back to roblox no matter what. I prepared minecraft. Two PC. Even buy starcraft/c&c etc so they can play LAN. Not interested at all. I am at the point i pray they play some game that has actual ending, nowadays all games in roblox is gacha system no ending keep grinding keep enticing ppl to p2w. Damn sien.

Thinking back i also get stuck with MMO. Once i started with MMO all other games cannot give me the high. I only play games with pvp where i can pwn other human. Cs2 dota etc.

my son is not type c but goes to SJKC.
he plays Roblox with his friends, all the while with whatsapp audio on.
so they converse in Mandarin.

i prefer not to let him play too much, but he really practices his Mandarin (effortlessly) when he plays.

at least i know his friends, who he is playing with.
he uses live chat (speech to text) a lot as well when not playing with friends.
hard to monitor, but trying my best.

i only let my son play minecraft on switch at first. truly incredible things he build there.
this year he requested to install & play roblox because every kid in his class got roblox id. i still does not let him play roblox because the online interaction & how the game were design to be p2w in mind.

the other conclusion that i could make from this is, malay kids doesnt play minecraft. maybe because it is not free to play

Went crazy throwing all kinds of tantrum all over the world after the tablet is off. Then i quietly took out a drawing book with my own pencil and started drawing alone while he tried to screw the world. After a while he came over and asked me to draw a Kraken while he drew a Leviathan. The day ended well.

Can. But not easy. Every time the down time is on he goes crazy.

Roblox transcends culture

My son had an online class once. There were SJKC, private school and SK kids there. When i checked in on him, he and the rest were paying attention. My son never got complaint for not paying attention

I later realised they had communicated each other via the Zoom chat and setup play dates in Roblox at specific games and played together. Even now when the class is over they still have certain times they will join and play together

That is the one thing i'm ok with Roblox. You can have a good time with friends. The grind, play to win nature and potential harm from the chat not so much

guys, need your advise.

Is Roblox is safe for kids ?
Does your kids play it as well ?
I saw there are Roblox summer camp and stuff in FB for kids

Recently i saw my kid was playing roblox and there are live chat going on as well
Also i found  this game is very addictive as well among kids.
at the moment i monitor my kids playing time and also control the screen time
even though i dont see anything inappropriate in the game so far, but is this safe to let primary school kids playing this online games  ?

in no time you'll be snapping at your kid for playing too much.

our psyche and theirs are now totally different.

I too thought that bad graphics with square headed characters won't be too addictive.

I have an experience playing with my kids. A player from konoha always chat about dirty stuff in the chat room. my kids of coz dont understand it and i quickly report the player. it depends on the game and mostly the players.
