Video games today are far different from what they were even a decade ago. Voice and text chats mean a child isn’t just sitting in the basement playing with a friend down the street.
They could be on a laptop or Xbox, chatting privately with a 36-year-old adult 3,000 miles away.
That’s the most troubling aspect of online gaming today: children are having unsupervised—and often very personal—conversations with adults they don’t know.
In our free eBook, Online Gaming: Tips for Protecting Children, you’ll learn:
- What gaming looks like today (hint: it’s almost always online)
- What the risks are in today’s hyper-connected world (hint: there are three facts you should know before letting your child game online)
- What you can do today to reduce those risks (hint: you’re probably already doing more than you think)
You’ll also learn about four of the most common games children play online—and what you can do to help ensure those games are as safe as possible for the kids and teens in your life.
All for free.
At the Beau Biden Foundation, we know how overwhelming it can be to monitor a child’s digital life. Games, apps, platforms, and consoles are always evolving—it’s not easy to keep up.
We hope this eBook helps guide meaningful conversations with your child about their digital life—whether through gaming or social media. Ongoing, open conversations between parents and children are the foundation of digital trust and safety.
