Check the Ratings of the game before buy it or allow children to play it.  Consider children’s maturity level to determine which games are suitable for them.  Chronological age is not necessarily a measure of maturity. Pick games that require the player to come up with strategies, and make decisions in a game environment that is more complex than punching, stealing, and killing. Look for games involving multiple players to encourage group play. These several things that have check before give games to children.
