As I have already touched on in previous posts, the Xbox One console
acts as a portal to tonnes of amazing online content. It allows you to
access everything from games, movies and entertainment, apps and other
online services. Unlike other gaming consoles your family may have
owned, the Xbox One allows users to access Xbox Live. From here, users
can play their favourite games against other online friends (or
strangers), send and receive friend requests and share their profiles
and gaming stats. In this way it becomes much more than just a gaming
console.

Whilst
it’s a fantastic feature, for those of us with young children it also
means that it is necessary to take steps to ensure that they cannot
access any content that is inappropriate for their age and maturity
level, and can navigate the platform safely. Fortunately, Microsoft have
built in parental controls to make doing this much easier than it
sounds.
Having 3 children under the age of 10, we are yet to
tackle the rules around using social media as a whole, so it was
important for me to do some research so that I could be confident that I
was armed with the best tips for ensuring that they are safe whilst
gaming online.
