New research from the Child Appropriate Game Design (CAGD) project shows that many children don’t understand if and how parental control settings impact their online gaming. Even in households where parents actively use parental controls, children underestimate the presence of safety features in games and their parents’ knowledge of them. There is a growing disconnect between parents and children when it comes to the role of parental controls in keeping kids’ gameplay safe and age-appropriate. Greater transparency between those setting parental controls and those experiencing them is essential—not only for child safety, but building children's digital literacy and resiliency, and fostering trust and open communication among family members. In this 90-minute workshop, CAGD researchers will engage participants in a speculative design process to discuss possible design tenets and co-create paper prototypes aimed at advancing transparency about parental controls within families in ways that prioritize children’s trust, safety, and best interests. This workshop is targeted to attendees working in child and youth safety, tech policy, and UXD.
