Islamabad: According to a recent survey*, almost half of parents surveyed (47%) believe that their children play games that are inappropriate for their age. Based on the survey, boys are more prone to such behaviour than girls – 50% and 43% of children respectively have violated age guidelines when playing games on their computers.
The survey entitled “Growing Up Online” was conducted by Toluna research agency at the request of Kaspersky in 2023-2024. The study sample included 10000 online interviews (5000 parent-child pairs, with children aged 3 to 17 years) in 5 countries: Türkiye, South Africa, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

It’s possible that parents tend to exaggerate the problem of violating age restrictions in computer games, or children are not always aware of these restrictions: according to the children themselves, only 28% of them play computer games that are inappropriate for their age, which is substantially less than articulated by the parents surveyed.
Playing computer games is a common way for youngsters to spend their free time. According to the survey, 34% of children play computer games 1-3 times a week for a couple of hours, while slightly less children (30%) spend 1-2 hours daily gaming.

“Parents often worry that their children spend too much time playing computer games. Of course, it is important to ensure that the child follows a routine, gets enough sleep, takes a break from the screen, and is physically active, however parents should not blame computer games for everything”, comments Seifallah Jedidi, Head of Consumer Channel for the META at Kaspersky. “Parents should take a proactive position in this area, be interested in the latest products offered by the video game industry, and, of course, understand their children’s gaming preferences and pay attention to the age limits marking. It’s worth mentioning that today, there is a wide variety of games on offer, many of which include educational materials, and so we recommend not to prohibit this type of leisure, but rather to seek a compromise.”

To keep children safe online, Kaspersky recommends that parents should pursue interest in what games your children play. Ideally, you should try those games yourself. This will help build more trust in your family relationships and help you to understand what your child is interested in. If you notice that your child plays a lot, try to engage them with another interesting hobby.Be informed about current cyber threats and talk to your children about the risks they may face online; teach them how to resist online threats and recognize the tricks of scammers. Use a parental control program on your child’s device, for example, Kaspersky Safe Kids. It will allow you to control the applications downloaded on the device or set a schedule for when these applications can be used.
