Then, how to control?
Of course, the role of parents is needed by understanding the objects their children like. Roblox, with various advantages and disadvantages, like it or not, has become part of our children's daily life.
Parents must give understanding and direct the boundaries of what is allowed and what is not allowed. Explains the nominal that must be paid for the items that the child wants to have. Or if it's allowed to have Robux. it is necessary to place a limit on the maximum amount of Robux that may be purchased. In addition, it also limits the duration of play. Do not let children get carried away with the virtual world and then forget to socialize in the real world.
When they search for gaming content on YouTube, parents also need to keep an eye on the content they see because adult Youtubers often use words that need to be explained first. If not, the child can easily imitate these words even though often the child does not understand the meaning of the words being imitated.
Children also need to be educated about internal networks that can go up and down at any time. If the internal connection is interrupted or unstable, give the option to stop because besides the game being uncomfortable, the possibility of losing the game is also large.
It's a good idea for us as parents to start directing our children not only to become players on Roblox, but also to start becoming game developers. So that children also learn to apply logic to the game. Of course, there is a certain pride if children can make and play games that they created themselves. Especially now that many programs have started to make games that are easy for children.
