The following guides provide balanced information to help you make informed decisions:
Be aware that parental control tools and filters are not always 100% effective and you can’t rely on them alone to protect your child online.
PEGI Age Ratings
Age ratings are systems used to ensure that entertainment content, such as games, but also films, tv shows or mobile apps, is clearly labelled with a minimum age recommendation based on the content they have. These age ratings provide guidance to consumers, parents in particular, to help them decide whether or not to buy a particular product for a child.
The PEGI rating considers the age suitability of a game, not the level of difficulty. A PEGI 3 game will not contain any inappropriate content, but can sometimes be too difficult to master for younger children. Reversely, there are PEGI 18 games that are very easy to play, yet they contain elements that make them inappropriate for a younger audience.
Here is a video that gives you further information about how PEGI ratings are determined.
Here are some popular apps/ platforms and their ratings;
