9 year old girl and gaming

Hi all some advice please. I feel I’m so out of touch of what’s in and what’s appropriate etc. I just want to do right by my child but then at the same time I don’t want her to be feeling left out or called weird etc ! She is wanting to go on games like G park and Roblox. Her friends are all on it but I am just so unsure and apprehensive about this whole “gaming life”. I’m feeling so out of touch and old lol 😂 I’m only 30 but I just want to see what everyone’s thoughts are and how you are managing expectations of what’s hot and what’s not! I get they are growing up but it’s a phase of eye rolling, cute boys and cool clothes and some things are just so overwhelming to navigate ! I didn’t think I would struggle this much. Thanks

My 9 year old boy has an Xbox and he plays most games, he knows he’s not allowed to speak to any strangers and if anyone does try to message him then he lets me know straight away even if it’s ‘hi’ he lets me know. I say him down and talked about strangers and the dangers and even if they are acting nice most strangers don’t have nice intentions and he fully understands that He also knows I trust him and if he breaks that trust then he also looses the privilege of the Xbox 🤷🏽‍♀️

My 9 year old goes on Roblox on her tab if anyone messages her she tells me. Or she's loses it I can trust her, same as what Michaela said xx

Just be careful with Roblox. Random people can contact her. My son doesn't play it but I've heard from others x

My daughter plays roblox on her tablet but she's not a gamer really and doesn't have a clue what she's doing which is a relief 😂 I only let her play games like that when I'm around though and I've told her about bad people online but she doesn't even use the chat in the game to be fair. I'd just monitor her on it if you do decide to let her play x
