Recent research from Penn State highlights the significant role that older siblings and friends play in helping parents safeguard their children while they engage in online video games such as Roblox and Minecraft. As digital gaming becomes an integral part of children's lives, the potential risks associated with online interactions have raised concerns among parents. The study emphasizes that having a trusted older sibling or friend involved in gaming can provide a protective layer for younger players.
These older companions not only offer guidance on navigating the complexities of online gaming but also serve as a buffer against potential dangers, such as cyberbullying and inappropriate content. Furthermore, they can help younger players develop critical skills for online communication and social interaction. By fostering a collaborative gaming environment, siblings and friends can contribute to a safer online experience, allowing children to enjoy the benefits of gaming while minimizing risks. This research underscores the importance of family dynamics in the digital age, encouraging parents to engage with their children's gaming activities.
