We know that it is the world that is completely filled with online stuff and it is almost close to impossible to keep your kids away from it.

No matter how hard you try, you have to have some allowance for the kids to let them play with the online stuff because it is a world of technology and you can refrain them from using it.

Now, as we talk about technology, we know that as the pandemic arrived not just the businesses and stuff but even the education system went online, and it has made it more convenient for the 

kids to get in touch with technology.

When it comes to the online stuff, we know that it provides the kids with access to unlimited games and they are found to be on their phones almost all the time no matter how hard you try to 

keep them away from it. There comes a time when you eventually allow them to play.

With the only stuff comes the pros and cons and that is the same with the online games. We know that online games make kids think more but at the same time they come with so many hazards that you have to keep your kids safe from.

In this article, we will tell you about how you can keep your kids safe from everything while they are playing online games.

Username

The first thing and the most important thing that you have to look into is what username are you selecting for your kid or what username are they using while they are playing the games.

You should never directly select the name rather there are so many other things that you can do to change the username for your kid or even yourself.

For example, if the name of your kid is Kiyara, you must know what is Kiyara meaning, now when you know what Kiyara means you can easily choose that username.

One other thing that you have to be careful about when choosing the username is do not ever make it look like it is the ID that is being used by the kid because this can put them in trouble too.

Always choose some mature usernames and make sure that the usernames are never revealing the real identity. This way you will be able to keep your kids safe from the troubles that come with online gaming.

Always keep a check

The next thing which according to us is also the most important thing just like the above-mentioned one no matter what age your kid is to keep is a check.

One of the major reasons why kids are involved in bad things or are not safe from the harms of online troubles is because parents do not keep a check on what the kids are doing.

No matter if it is the world of online gaming or the everyday life of your kid, you need to keep a check on them 24/7 so that they know they are always under observation and this way they will not attempt anything wrong.

When you will keep a check on them, you will be able to see what kind of people they are interacting with on a daily basis and what are things that they are focused on.

Keeping a check is anyway important no matter what your kid is doing.

Experience it before them:

The third thing that most people do not think of or do not realize that can be done is to experience it before their kids because they do not find it important.

When you are letting your kids play some game but you still want to keep them safe from the troubles that come with online gaming, what you can do is to play the game before them.

When you will play the game before your kids, you will be able to see how it is played, what kind of people are playing the game, what are the things that need to be restricted, and what are the things that you should allow your kids.

Playing the games before the kids will help you get access to so many things and you will know about all the plots that can be used in these online games and this way you can easily protect your kid.

Tell your kid, that you have played the game before them and know everything about it so that they keep reservations and they know what things they need to avoid.

We don’t know if you knew this trick before, but it is definitely a very useful trick that you should apply.

Play these games with them:

Now, the last point again is something that can save your kid to the extent that you cannot even imagine. This is one of the most helpful ways to protect your kids from the hazards of online gaming.

What you need to do is basically just set the time for them to play the game when you know you can play with them.

When your kids will know that you are also going to play with them, they will not just feel safe, but they will also be very comfortable playing those games.

You can this way also look at what is happening inside the game, and keep your kids very safe.

Along with it when you are not available to play the game with your kids, what you can do is to 

ask them that they are only allowed to play with people that you both know.

This way, even without playing with them, or keeping a check on them, you will still be able to keep them safe from the problems of online gaming.

These are some of the ways through which you can protect your kids from the problems that come with online gaming and just feel safe for them being on the internet.
