Setting Up Parental Controls
Roblox offers several parental control features that every parent should configure for their child's account.
Why This Matters
Parental controls are your first line of defense. They limit exposure to inappropriate content, prevent unauthorized purchases, and give you control over who can interact with your child.
Signs to Look For
- 1No account restrictions or PIN set up
- 2Child can make purchases without approval
- 3Chat is open to everyone
- 4Anyone can send friend requests
- 5No limits on who can join games
What Parents Should Do
- Set up a Parent PIN in account settings (4-digit code)
- Enable Account Restrictions for children under 13
- Set birthdate correctly - this determines default safety settings
- Restrict who can chat: "No one" or "Friends only" for younger kids
- Disable in-app purchases or require a PIN
- Regularly review privacy settings
- Consider using the "Family Link" app for additional controls
