”Children and gaming” is a guide for parents about gaming. It provides insight into the positive elements of gaming as well as the things parents should be aware of and pay attention to.

It covers topics such as in-game purchases, PEGI, language and screen time. Accompanying each theme is informative and explanatory texts, followed by suggestions on how parents can engage in dialogue with their children. 

‘Children and gaming’ is primarily targeted parents and caregivers. However, pedagogues, teachers or other professionals working with children and gaming may find useful knowledge and inspiration in the guide.

The guide was published on Safer Internet Day 2020 by the Media Council for Children and Young People in collaboration with Save the Children Denmark and Center for Digital Youth Care. 

It underwent a larger update on Safer Internet Day 2026, where a new chapter on video game influencers was added along with new and relevant information on retention strategies and monetisation in video games.
