Hi all
I have a 9yo little boy who up to now has been able to play online (Xbox) and connect with school friends. He has been playing things like Minecraft and Roblox. There is another one that I can't remember the name of.
My concern comes with the online element whereby some of the other children have been really unkind to him, kicking him out of the game and saying things like 'you don't deserve any friends'. I would be less worried if my son didn't take it personally but he has always been quite a sensitive boy so I worry about how this will affect him.
In my mind, I want to stop all online play so that we can cut this channel of, what I call, mild bullying off. He could carry on playing non-online games. My husband, however, thinks that he should carry on because it will teach him how to cope with it and how to behave online. I am worried that he won't cope and it could get him down. You ear such awful stories about boys that don't cope.
What do you all think I should do? Thank you for your help.
