Playtime limiting strategies

The simplest way to limit Fortnite playtime is by implemented simple, but effective strategies to keep your kids engaged in real-world activities. With attention spans getting shorter every single day with endless entertainment literally in your pocket – it can be hard to pry eyes from the screen. So here are 3 strategies for limiting playtime:

1. Put playtime on a timer

Limiting your kids playtime to a set number of hours/minutes a night is a method adopted by many, letting them play for a dedicated time per night. Our recommended maximum is for 2 hours at the most, that way it feels fair to the kids – it is their hobby after all. Setup a timer for your chosen amount of time, when it goes off – Fortnite goes off – simple as that.

2. Have set off days

Just like with working out, it’s imperative to have off days from anything strenuous – that includes strain on the eyes. Having set off days where Fortnite doesn’t go on is a great way to limit playtime meaning that kids will be out of the screen and into your home. Although we’re not responsible for the chaos that they’ll cause – sorry!

3. Come up with alternative, fun and interesting activities

If you’re limiting playtime or having dedicated off days, you’ll want something to keep your kids engaged. When you’re at an age where you need to be occupied with something all of the time, it can be difficult to enjoy the simpler things in life.

How many kids do you see enjoying Stranger Things with a bottle of beer and a packet of nuts – it’s not happening. Coming up with fun and interesting group activities will let them forget all about the game and you’ll have plenty of memories from the activities that you plan.
