What is Twitch?

How did children and young people find out about the pandemic?

In direct dialogue with friends and family. Television came in second place.

Which streaming channel is the best?

There are numerous providers. Subscribing to all channels is too expensive. Choose one with your children and live with the fact that other providers also show nice films.

Today's generation watches TV, chats on their smartphone and does homework at the same time. That's not possible with a game.

What is more popular today, gaming or watching TV?

Not all children and young people like to play games. Television, on the other hand, with its fictional stories, identifiable characters and exciting films, is still very popular. In gaming, the effort involved is much greater and less parallel action is possible due to the interaction.

Today's generation watches TV, chats on their smartphone and does homework at the same time. This is not possible with a game. This activity requires a strong immersion, an immersion, because otherwise the absorption of content does not work.

What is meant by binge-watching?

Binge-watching, for example, involves watching all the episodes of a series in one go. This can be quite fun in exceptional cases with friends at the weekend, but is otherwise not advisable.

What is Twitch?

Twitch is a video channel like YouTube, with the difference that everything is live here. Twitch originally came from the gaming corner, but now there are also people on this platform who stream themselves while watching a cookery programme. The people in the chat then react to this.

From what age is YouTube allowed?

This is a little confusing and can always change. Actually, all children under the age of 18 need parental permission for YouTube. They can only create their own account from the age of 16, but even then, parental consent is required. Parents can authorise and restrict younger children's use via Google's «Family Link» parental control service.

Our daughter wants to become a Youtuber. What do we need to watch out for?

First of all, it depends on whether parents really agree to their child being shown on the Internet. What exactly is shown? Can only the voice be heard or can the face also be seen? I would also pay attention to the permitted age of use. There is also the question of whether the child has a good frustration tolerance and can cope with the fact that no one may find their content interesting.
