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 ?

safe but not safe.

wasnt there an article about kidnapping or something? don't quite remember, but scamming the kid somewhere

Parking. Now my kid too much screen time with Minecraft.

Even though already limit every 30 mins play & break.

Roblox(your kid era) vs Counter-Strike(TS era) using gun and knife

Which you think are more crazy?

game design class or the game itself is okay. you can limit what game that comes out with parental control

problem is the chat screen if not monitored

For me no, and its so addictive that my kids started to misbehave so I just ban them altogether.

All my kids are banned from any smart device for now. the only screentime they get is from the TV.

I noticed a lot of behavioural improvement after the ban. previously I still let them play during the weekends with time limits(minecraft only) but shit still get out of control.

My kids are 9,7,& 5.

crazy

As example, look at a simple popular game right now on Roblox called "grow a garden".

Totally inane, nothing inappropriate about getting seeds, planting etc.

Yet 20+ million people on the game at any one time.

Developer literally has a digital gold mine.

summer camp. from my experience is jus a gimmick to attract kids. in d end nothing to do much wit roblox.. my son went before minecraft camp n roblox. 1 organised by church. another organise by tuition centre.

lel i purposely bought minecraft so they won't play roblox
but they still play roblox anyways, kek. not all their school friends has minecraft

wish i can control my daughter like you. but not easy for me.
She is the only kid at home and no other siblings. So sometimes we had to let her get more screen time so she wont disturb us.
At the moment planning to buy Nintendo for her, atleast i can reduce gaming on phone/tablet
My daughter is 7

After looking at the allegations videos related to Roblox, I would say it's not safe for kids UNLESS you supervise your kids' chats all the time. Then again, the kids would think you are bothering their fun time.

I'm 30 plus and I play it too. Squid game one is nice lmao

there's roblox or minecraft porn on pornhub, dun ask me how i know

Lol same, Ive uninstalled it and the bugger keep reinstalling it. the I actually subscribed to kids360 app to lock the app so they cant access it. But the little bugger so smart he still manage to find a loophole to circumvent the lock. So now I just ban all of them from smart device altogether. Padan mukak.

Maybe I will give it back once he hit 13 years old.

But after the ban they improve a lot in their behaviour la. Listen more to isntructions, easy to ask for help. started back reading a lot of informational books. start asking and talking more about intelectual shits. But the house is more messy from their playtime, but Im willing to live with this. My house was more tidy when they are on the blardy smartphones

My daughter play roblox. First, i monitor. Any scary game or something that make your brain rot, I strictly prohibit her from playing with strict rules of course.

Then, i join her play. Yes, join. I do play games but not roblox. She insisted coz she said no friends. At first i hesitate but then i join coz its a good way to bond with my daughter and to teach her confident as well.

Now she can play without my observation but i do observed her time to time. I let her play scary game as well but nothing extreme. I let her play those stupid brain rot game as well just to see if she affected by it or not. Luckily, she play for the sake of playing. Me? Learning whats going on with current gen trends etc so that i know if she said something weird its have good meaning or bad one. Win win for me.

Now we also play minecraft. A game i make fun of last time. Its pretty good actually if u give a try. Same to roblox as well. Got decent game.

Ground rules need to be made:

No purchase item using real money
No sharing contact and personal info with stranger or in friend list unless personally know them
No voice chat
No extreme and stupid games
Put game time limit like 2-3 hours.

Why not join her?

I've bought 3 Minecraft license so we could play together. Even have a dedicated server in the homelab. But they are not playing on phones tho. Got them hand-me-downs laptops just fast enough for Minecraft.

Even bought Minecraft dungeons after watching the movie so we can play hotseat coop on the tv. It's all about spending time with them.

when i was kid, I play resident evil 2 my parents never ask around is it safe?

Nothing is 100% safe
But Roblox got quite extensive parental control. Including disable online chat.

While reading this tered

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

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.

actually this is what im trying to do at the moment, already have home tuition and piano class to keep her occupied.
Also she interested in craft and drawing, so going to send her to Art class.
planning for swimming and self defence classes also, but at the Same time dont want pressure her with so many classes,

Fun fact. My kid was playing once and said happy chinese new year when bombing somebody in some game

kena reported for bullying or racial and sus kek

But i limit it to couple of hours to Sunday only. Too much grinding for my liking. Makes them addicted

explore the real world much quicker

Mine plays 1 hour at night, and also more hours during weekends. But we switch between study/homework and play. I play it with her so that she is not so lonely, and I can supervise and see what she is actually doing as well.

Despite that too, I noticed she gets addicted to it as well. I am thinking of weaning her off from this game due to her being so addicted. But dont know what other stuff to do besides playing the game.

Is minecraft better? Never played before.

back then we were not strawberries

To get your kids away from the screen, you need to have an activity they are willing to do.

Cycling ke. Swimming ke. Ballet ke. Music ke.

Keep them busy with physical hobbies. Things they like or want to try. Physically. Away from phone.

could it be the current parents are the real strawberries farmers?

My kids play it too. Age 6 & 8

As long they doesnt show any weird behavior and study well, I dont mind.

Back in the day cs1.6 and dota 1 even worse. Pukimak putang ina mo and smashing keyboard & mouse. Roblox is consider soft compared to cs1.6 and dota days.

your kid play on pc or smartphone

They confirm will addict to it.

But better limit their screen time, else they will have eye problem and need to use glasses already.

only behavioral changes i notice is kids always throw tantrum when we want take away the phone/tablet
but its not only roblox, even playing other games or watching youtube.


i think roblox is on smartphone/tablet only

Can play on PC. Mouse + keyboard

My eldest plays but i restrict it for a couple of hours on Sunday

The play to win grinding progression aspect of the game yeah i can see its problem for kids.

i didn't introduce Roblox or minecraft to my children yet (both below 10). 1 of the main reason is addiction, especially the youngest 1.

however, games that i allow was pokemon go (with my sil and wife), plant vs zombie... and i ban youtube since they like to watch gameplays and reel. Reel is another poison if they dont have self control.

AFK mode

Bcoz current gen parents are very "educated" n so strawberry n very "advanced" tinking wan to cultivate their ideal children.

They call their boomer parent are restricting but they peojected all their ideals of wat is a human into their child.

My parents don't even care what games I play. I remember playing GTA vice city, shooting people, running over old lady 😂😂

roblox have mods and servers that are not good for kids

Dunno wat is Roblox but I think is childish stupid game

btw, this childish stupid game developer has a market cap more than 10x Petronas....

pc also can..get ur kid to play on pc la

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 kid also addicted to it play with his cousins ,uncle and aunt.

not safe dont let them play

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

Ya. Same. Wasted my Minecraft. And i don't like petak petak game...

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.

10x Petronas Gas...Petronas Gas

And tq for buying Robuxes

Kids these days really cham, play game also cannot

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

all kids is different. we as parents hav to change when needs to. if its too much we control, when all good, we let loose abit.

I also dunno and I ahtethat shit. I'd rather them play RE. scared the shit out of me when I played last time

Full of gore and headshot and the pukimak tat nemesis always suddenly come out scare me til scream when i curi play at midnight

my kids are playing too.. they like grow a garden...

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.

that's why lah even play 2D Sonic become something else when they want to find pictures as drawing/colouring inspiration

out comes the OCs which are horrible and horrifying

Play maplestorysea is the best

my experience.... I introduce Roblox..... no time limit whatso ever.... now my kid in local university... 2 in secondary school so far all doing great.... maybe cause I'm working from home all the time so always under my radar... my kid all ok... sometime I joined them... what the fuss here?

FMJ is crazy

kids need dedicated machine dedicated time only then they know the boundaries of when and where to play

To be fair to parents nowadays. I can understand their concerns. During ps1/ps2 times. Either you play alone or with friends who come over. So easier to.monitor & u know who they are.

Now, they play online with total strangers who may behave inappropriately at best or worse could be pedophiles looking for easy targets.

at these ages, you should only let them play single-player games, or offline multiplayer. The internet is a cesspool, dulu sekarang dan selamanya

A lot of the roleplaying games are definitely not safe

Got many creeps that are obviously adults playing house with kids, fkin gross

Out of curiosity, Why is every under 12 kids playing this game?
There are so many other games, why this?

your question is the answer. bcos all their friends are playing it also. pls make sure your kid is given gaming schedule after their responsibilities are completed. roblox will surely turn to other things in future.

And don't ever let the kid perform any monetary transaction in/for this game.

really nice game

Because that "so many other games" can be played in roblox itself.

Gta 6? Roblox got
Call of dudy 6? Roblox got
Pokemon? Roblox got
