Mine too. He has ADD with the roblox games, lol. He'll invite me to play and by the time I get in, he's already changed games, lol. (He does find some good ones though).

My kids moved from Minecraft to Roblox.

My oldest son downloaded that on his tablet (he's 8 ) without asking, which charged it back to our amazon account. I Still havent let him play that because I always approve what they play. I sometimes wish my parents would have been more strict about what they let me play as a kid. Anyways, we mostly do it as a family activity together, I've got my desktop at home and my kids all have Fire tablets.

Owch... Roblox it self and many of the games are free, but offer in-app purchases... Just disable that ability, lol.

@dafyre The kid versions of Fire tablets have an app called "freetime". its great and includes a TON of free content. But he knew the passcode to the parent user account and just downloaded the game from the app store. I've recently changed that code.

I feel like this is such a different world from when I was a kid, my kids have no trouble what so ever absorbing tech that is around them. But its funny trying to explain things like what the internet is, or what files on a computer mean. They have virtually no frame of reference, especially about the differences between different types of systems like android vs windows vs iOS.

their favorite thing is to just ask alexa to play random songs for like 10 seconds before the have her switch to a different song. They love asking her jokes too.
