You shouldn't have to convince your daughter of anything, unless she's an adult.
You're the parent and you know so much better than the child what is and isn't good for them. It's good to give them decision-making freedom, but sometimes you have to step in to stop them from engaging in unhealthy or dangerous behavior.
You're making a lot of assumptions about how I parent for someone who doesn't know me.
You often get a blood nose on that high horse of yours?
I'm not assuming anything about how you parent. I'm making a suggestion based on the content of the post.
Roblox is probably not a good thing for children and as a parent, you should take certain things away from your kid if it's not healthy for them.
How is that controversial?
We're talking about a mobile game here...
Gambling, sexual content, addiction, violence.
Just because it's a mobile game doesn't mean it's not dangerous. You must have seen mobile game ads across the internet for ones with sexual content to try to lure people into using them. People blow tens of thousands of dollars on these things.
That'd be pretty draconian for a teen though, depending on her age.
