Would you let a 6 year old have a Webkinz?

Question

my little cuz wants a Webkinz but my aunt and uncle aren't sure.

should i get her one? she has on;y been on the internet to play games and even then she didn't know she was even on the internet.

Answer 1

yeah. i had one. totally safe. you cant type anything, so no predators of strangers. you make friends and you can say nice, alrighty typed stuff.

Answer 2

I don't see what they problem would be. You can make the user name and password easy. Make sure that someone if guiding her when she is on the computer.  She may lose interest in a bit, they you have to take care of it.

Answer 3

Yes, absolutely!  There is completely no way for her to get in any trouble on the Webkinz site.  As long as her parents moniter her that she doesn't go onto any other sites, she will be fine.  It has lots of fun games for kids her age.  She'll love it.  Make sure they have high speed internet though or it won't work.  I bought one for my godchild and she couldn't use it with her dial-up.

Answer 4

My niece wanted one and she's not allowed to get it. But she is crying for it. She won't get it, though. Her parents won't let her have it and they won't cave.

I don't know what they are.

Answer 5

i have a webkinz, and i think the site is fine for a 6 year old as long as someone is there supervising her.

Answer 6

My six year old brother has one and loves it.

Answer 7

The internet is a major part of life these days, why not teacher her about it in a fun way? It's safe, my cousin has a few, he's 8 and really likes them. Just make sure you keep an eye on her ;)

Answer 8

yes ...i thought it was made for children around that age and up~!! I have a friend who's younger than me, and she's 10 lol.... she's on webkinz all the time, and loves it.~!! =)

Answer 9

Sure.  Why wouldn't you let her have one?  They're made for kids.

Answer 10

you can have a webkinz and only go online with it with a parent or older sibling/cousin.

Answer 11

it IS made for kids so yeah i started when i was six and i am still going!!! now i am 9...... heh.........

Answer 12

YES she should have one! I work in a day care center and all the kids have them. They bring them to school. I think your child will feel left out if they didn't own one.

All you need to buy them just 1 and let them pick it out and explain that this is the only one your going to get for a long time so choose wisely. Some of the kids in the day care center have 60 different ones and i think thats crazy! i think 1 should keep them occupied for a while until christmas :) plus they're harmless. Also it teaches the childrean how to feed and take care of pets.

Answer 13

Well..uh YEAH! It's ottaly safe! You can't chat or type in your own messages and its safe. It's fun and educational in a way =) I'm 12 and I play it!

Answer 14

Maybe. my brother is 7 and has a webkinz. It could work. Just don't give out any personal information and your cousin will be fine. You might want to sign up with her if she get's a webkinz.

Answer 15

I think so. Webkinz is a very child friendly and safe online game. Maybe ask your aunt and uncle if they would sit down with her and go through the site. Some of the games are geared towards younger children, and some aren't.

If you're still not sure, wait a few years.

Answer 16

absoulutly! My six year old sis has like 23 and she loves it! The only problem is that normally 6 year olds aren't great readers so it's a little hard for them to manuever around webkkinz world!I'd say give it a go!

<3 hope I helped!

Answer 17

I would send a 6 year old outside to play, or read a book. I dont personally agree with having little ones sitting on their butts in front of a tv, or computer......I like activity thats beneficial physically or educationally, and socially interactive, even though im sure that its educational, its not as good as reading to me. But thats my opinion of course, no i wouldnt.

Answer 18

They're meant for children. Of course!

Answer 19

i would it could help her in the future

Answer 20

Sure.  Webkinz are very popular and fun among little kids.  Besides, I have visited "Webkinz World" and it's very safe for little children, and the games and activities are easy and don't require much understanding.

Answer 21

totally why not i mean webkinz is for kids isn't it? well i think you should let her have one and besides the younger she starts using it, the more used to to it she'll get when she's older. just make sure she isn't on it for like the whole day or she could get blind.

Answer 22

Answer 29

Get her one. You dont have to play the internet part of webkinz. She should use her imagination with the stuffed animal like we all did before the internet.

Answer 30

No,  it sound dangerous and all for her to do that.

Also webkinz has been framed for manipulating your account sometimes and you have to rebuy everything every year.

Answer 31

it would depend on there maturity level and stuff but i would
