My son, 8 yrs old, is begging to play this game (fortnite). Apparently he is the only kid in his class that is not allowed to play it, which is ironic considering I am probably the only parent in the class that plays it! Having said that, he will finally be allowed this Oct when he turns 9. I believe he is finally ready. But no way is my 6 yr old allowed. He is not ready. He is not mature enough.<\/p>\n

My biggest suggestion to parents – please monitor each game your child wants to play. It’s a good idea to buy a playpen before your baby’s moving around too much, so she can get used to it. Before you go ahead and buy a playpen, do not forget these playpens for babies reviews<\/a> to help you make the right choice. Here is my 5 point plan for monitoring a specific game:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ask your child if its appropriate<\/li>\n
  2. Google the game and check out some reviews<\/li>\n
  3. Look at the game website and\/or app store to read the description<\/li>\n
  4. Check out the game rating<\/li>\n
  5. Play the game yourself<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Honestly, I can do all of this in 20-30 minutes. Yes it takes up my time but its well worth it. I have to block about 20% of games that my son asks to play. I enjoy games so I don’t mind learning about them. Plus I can talk to him about the game and see what it is about it that interests him. Check out the following video where I discuss Fortnite and how it is\/is not appropriate for kids:<\/p>\n
