game Should kids be monitored when gaming?

The rate at which kids can get addicted to gaming nowadays is alarming. I overheard a boy saying that he was up all night playing Fortnite, he went to sleep at 4 am! It got me wondering how his parents can possibly be alright with that.
I believe that kids gaming time should be strictly monitored to prevent them going overboard.

It’s very important to monitor your kids' gaming habits. I would encourage parents to set limits and ensure that there is a balance between activity and education. Excessive gaming can lead to sleep deprivation which is not good for your health.

It’s extremely essential to monitor your kids because education is key. Teaching the kids responsible gaming habits is very important. We can teach them self-regulation. I encourage my kids in setting time for gaming. It’s really good for fostering healthy gaming practices

I do not think it is goo to watch them over their shoulder while they play games, however, I do believe parents should know what games their kids are playing and what kind of gaming activities they are involved with

I don't either, but I like to know which games she is playing so that I can prevent her from playing anything that I would have something against, just in case. However, I try to show an interest in her life by popping in and asking her how it's going from time to time.

I do put a time limit lock on gaming though. I would say that at one point she got addicted, or the time just flew one too many times where she'd be on a game too long and not do her homework. So, she has 2 hours, and the lock is lifted if everything else required of her is done after that.

No, I don't think so, maybe in online games yes, but in offline games no, that's why there is the age restriction that comes with the games.
