Digital habits and gaming safety guide for parents during summer

As summer holidays lead to increased leisure time and screen usage among children, experts and technology brands are offering guidance for parents to manage digital consumption effectively.

To ensure safe gaming experiences, parents are encouraged to utilize the PEGI (Pan European Game Information) age rating system to identify appropriate content regarding violence, language, or fear. Additionally, managing microtransactions through console settings can help prevent unplanned spending on in-game items.

To promote healthy digital habits, recommendations include establishing specific schedules and screen-free periods during meals or outdoor activities. Experts suggest prioritizing the quality of digital time—such as educational or creative content—over mere quantity, and ensuring that technology use is gradually introduced in accordance with a child's age and maturity.
