Should I allow my child to use cloud gaming?

[Donte]

I’ve heard a lot about cloud gaming, but I’m worried about screen time and online interactions. Is cloud gaming suitable for kids, and what precautions should parents take before allowing it?

Allowing your child to use cloud gaming can be okay if you set rules and supervision. Make sure they play age-appropriate games, use parental controls, and have time limits. Balanced screen time and open communication are key.

"I think it's great that you're considering the pros and cons of cloud gaming for your child. Cloud gaming can be a convenient and accessible way for kids to play games, but it's essential to set limits and monitor their usage. Consider the type of games they'll be playing and ensure they're suitable for their age."

There is nothing wrong with letting your child play with cloud gaming provided that it is done with wisdom. The concept of cloud gaming is not bad, but there are screen time and age-appropriate games, as well as a safe environment to play. Make sure you establish clear guidelines (time limits, game ratings), of what they are playing and balancing games with homework, sleep and outdoor games. It would also be a good idea to talk about internet safety and the correct conduct in case the games have social/chat features. Cloud gaming under supervision and restrictions can be a playful low-entry method of playing games with one another.
