Roblox is hugely popular with children — but without proper parental settings, it can expose them to strangers, inappropriate content, and excessive screen time.
This guide will walk you through how to set up essential parental controls on your child’s Roblox account to help keep them safe while they play.
🔐 1. Create a Child Account
Always create a Roblox account for your child using their real birthdate. Roblox uses age to apply default privacy settings and content filters.
⚙️ 2. Enable Account PIN
Under Settings > Parental Controls, set an Account PIN to lock privacy and security settings. This ensures only you can change them.
🧒 3. Turn on Account Restrictions
Switch on Account Restrictions to limit who your child can chat with and what games they can access. This blocks unmoderated games and chat features.
💬 4. Disable or Limit Chat
In Settings > Privacy, set Who can chat with me to “No one” or “Friends” only, depending on your child's age and needs.
📊 5. Use the Parent Dashboard
Review your child’s play history and interactions regularly via the Roblox parent dashboard. You can also monitor purchases and time spent in-game.
