About Games4Kids

Our Mission

Games4Kids exists to help parents make informed decisions about their children's gaming experiences. We provide clear, honest guidance on popular games, safety settings, and age-appropriate recommendations without the hype or marketing spin.

Why We Started

As parents ourselves, we know how overwhelming the gaming landscape can be. Games change constantly, new platforms emerge, and kids always seem to know about the latest trends before we do. We started Games4Kids because we couldn't find straightforward, parent-focused information about the games our children wanted to play.

Our Approach

Parent-First Perspective

We write for parents, not gamers. Our guides focus on what you need to know: safety settings, age appropriateness, costs, and red flags to watch for. We skip the gaming jargon and get straight to the point.

Independent and Honest

We're not affiliated with any game publishers, platforms, or companies. We don't accept advertising from gaming companies or earn commissions from game sales. This independence allows us to give you honest assessments of games and their risks.

Safety-Focused

Every game guide includes comprehensive safety information, appropriate parental controls, and specific steps to protect your child. We believe in starting with maximum protection and gradually reducing restrictions as children demonstrate maturity.

Practical and Actionable

Our guides are designed to be completed in 3-5 minutes. We provide step-by-step instructions, specific settings to change, and troubleshooting for common issues. No theoretical discussions—just practical help you can use today.

What We Cover

Our Standards

Accuracy and Updates

We test every setting and procedure we recommend. When games update their interfaces or policies, we update our guides accordingly. Each guide shows when it was last updated.

Age-Appropriate Recommendations

We provide specific guidance for different age groups, not generic advice. A safety setup for a 7-year-old is different from one for a 13-year-old, and our recommendations reflect these differences.

No Fear-Mongering

While we take safety seriously, we don't believe in scaring parents away from all gaming. Many games offer genuine educational and social benefits when approached thoughtfully. We help you find the right balance for your family.

What We Don't Do

• Game reviews or ratings: We focus on safety and appropriateness, not entertainment value
• Gaming tips or strategies: We're here for parents, not players
• Platform advocacy: We don't recommend one console or platform over another
• Advertising or partnerships: We maintain independence from gaming companies

Who We Are

Games4Kids is created and maintained by parents who understand the challenges of modern digital parenting. Our team includes parents of children ranging from toddlers to teenagers, giving us perspective across all age groups.

We're not gaming experts or child psychologists—we're parents who've done the research and testing so you don't have to. We learn alongside our children and share what we discover.
