I have an 11-year old daughter who finished or was able to play to the ending of MineCraft around 2016/2017. She's been playing it since 2014. She discovered that there is an ending and she did hers too. She began playing Roblox around 2016.

So, when I read “grew up playing Roblox”, I had to read up Roblox's history to understand my bearing.

This is surreal.

She's been asking me that she need to become a premium member to create Roblox artifacts/items. She is creative. I need to look into this. She meets her friends, hangs out with them there. She has even taught her 4-year old sister to play and wander around with her on Roblox.

I'm not a parent, and certainly not your child's parent, but...

Please help her with that. What's she's asking it basically what I asked of my parents at her age. I did things like run a BBS and write stupid programs, and today I'm a senior software developer with a job that pays quite well. And I still love programming.

While she doesn't technically need it to be creative, doing things that interest you is a huge boost in the creativity and learning departments. She probably won't learn what you or she expects to, and that's even better, IMO.

Of course, I don't know what else you're already doing for her like that, and there's certainly a point where you're just throwing money away at whims. But I just felt the need to put this out there.

Lots of parents of Roblox players here.

Better Roblox than TikTok.

I don't agree. My kids are into Minecraft and TikTok, not Roblox (so my opinion is very objective ;))

The fun in minecraft is creating. The fun in TikTok is both consuming and creating. I know you can create Roblox games, but most kids I see only consume.

I think all 3 can be fun for them, as long as they can limit their screen time.

4-year old sister, I hope?

Ah! Yes. Fixed. :-)
