0 Roblox is one of the most popular online gaming platforms for kids and teens, offering millions of user-generated games and social features. While it encourages creativity and collaboration, it also presents risks like inappropriate content, online strangers, and excessive screen time. Thankfully, Roblox includes built-in parental controls to help parents manage their child’s experience. This guide walks you through how to set them up for a safer, more age-appropriate gaming environment.
š§ Why Roblox Parental Controls Matter
Roblox is interactive and social, which means children can:
- Chat with other players

Without proper controls, kids may encounter inappropriate language, unsafe interactions, or unsuitable games. Parental controls help reduce these risks and give you peace of mind.
