It's not uncommon for parents and guardians to be concerned about the amount of time that their child spend playing games. Like, “They always end up playing games for too long,” or “They can’t stop playing even after the agreed-upon time.”
We have some suggestions for managing play time together with your child.
Have you ever had an experience like this?
The rule in our house is one hour of game time per day. It looks like the time limit is almost up.
But my child is so engrossed in the game they don’t notice the time limit has already passed. Mum is starting to get a little upset…
Or...
I'm worried that my child is staying up too late playing games.
What should I do in a situation like this?
Try setting daily time limits for playing and night-time restrictions to when playing games are not allowed. An alarm will sound when these time limits are reached.
Helpful Tips
Consider establishing rules related to daily play time with your child, and then set restrictions as necessary on the gaming console.
It is also important to check with your child through daily communication whether they are following the rules, and to make revisions to the rules as necessary. You can also check on which games your child is playing and for how long via the mobile app.
In addition to the alarm notification, there is also a feature to forcibly suspend the game. But we recommend that you clearly communicate with your child and use this feature as a supplement to ensure that games are being played in accordance with the house rules.
If you set restrictions, please do not share your Parental Controls PIN with your child.
