Help children get when playing online video games for the first time in France 2020
When parents of French children aged 8 to 17 were asked if their children had played online video games alone or with the help of someone else when they did it for the first time, the majority of the parents (** percent) of children aged 8 to 9 reported that their children had done so with the help of an adult. Thus, the youngest are more supervised by adults for their first online games. When children themselves were asked the same question, the majority of children aged 10 to 14 reported having done it with the help of an adult.
