Club Penguin Review helps Parents -Interesting Dialogue Continues

Club penguin is really safe for children to have lots of fun whilst they also learn. My own children have been using club penguin for nearly 1 year now and I think its great and I've honestly never seen anything that would cause parents concern!!!!

Club penguin is encouraging their creativitiy, plus they are doing simple maths sums working out how many coins they need to purchase something and of course practising valuable reading skills when they read the weekly club penguin newspaper and hand/eye co-ordination and mouse/keyboard skills as they play the different games within club penguin. They meet up with their friends from school on club penguin and play together in a virtual world that in my opinion is far safer than msn or other chat-room alternatives!

Parents can stay completely in control as they can restrict length of time a child can play on club penguin, cut off times and can even restrict to ultimate safe chat should they wish to do so.

There are really strict filters and many words that might cause offense are filtered (child sees the words appear but they are not transmitted for others to see). If a child types an inappropriate word they usually get a 24hr ban initially, but bans can be made permanent depending on circumstances. Players can also report other penguins for inappropriate behaviour or inappropriate wordings that arn't caught by the filters.

My only complaint is that every Friday morning my kids (and also I) log onto club penguin to see what has changed (having read the paper to find out what is about to happen in club penguin the day before!!!!!)

I'd say to parents - have a play and discover for yourself the learning and fun potential of club penguin!!!!!

it would be fun if there were other chat games like club penguin but featuring other animals or avatars that kids can make themselves if there are any other sties please tell us

Yesterday my 9 year old daughters friend shared Club Penguin with us and I let my daughter register. In the 30 min we were on, 3 times we were approached by other penguins asking "girl or boy?" I guess curious little penguins first off want to know what sex they are dealing with, (or could this be a predator? How do you really know?).
After a few meaningless words with one of her new friends, a boy, we noticed another little penguin, showing obvious sadness, mad faced, then she asked our new buddy, "Are you going with HER now? Is she your new friend?" This little penguin was obviously jealous and having a hard time dealing with her boy buddies new friend. Then we witnessed a making up and they threw hearts back and forth to each other and then disappeared.
You draw your own conclusion.
In my opinion this type of site in all its innocence is a just precursor for Myspace. For now, my daughter can find other things to do, outside preferably, and enjoy her childhood. Why rush things? Club Penguin, you're cute and seemingly well intentioned but no thanks!

Thanks for sharing, but I doubt these "human reactions" things will go away, club penguin, myspace, or in real life. I understand a parents' concern, and I can tell you're an excellent parent, which will be the most important thing.

Same Thing here. Except a little bit different. I can,t help but to say we need better moderation of the chat. For instance a bad word can get through simply like this, f u c k you. I Have seen it when my child was on and this little innocent penguin was the victim. My child reported the player and waddled away. I do not let her go on it anymore unless theres better moderation!!!

what website builder did you make the game off

YAY FOR CLUBPENGUIN =)

i am considering allowing my 11 year old daughter have a membership at club penguin but i am weary of such sites, i dont want some dusguised sex predator contacting my daughter.... any helpful comments ?

Dont weiry I am a thirteen year old boy that plays on club penguin all the time and I have not had one person to come up to me and ask me a sex question or any thing like that the only thing people ask me is boy or girl and I dont take that as a sex question at all I take that as if they want to be my friend or not or a nother thing people asking do you wanna be a couple some times I say yes some times I say no but it realy depends about the conversation you had with the person before they asked that but still never tell them your address or any thing like that or they might be a sex preditor and if you feel not sure about the person just report them or you can also be a secret agent if your over thirty days old and I also admet I have asked do you wanna be a couple my self before but still im not a sex preditor so just watch who your talking to and good luck from me Ninja Zr1

Don't worry on Club Penguin there is no swearing tolerated and sexual talk. If this happens you will get banned forever which is a real shame. On club penguin there is even the option to report players for bad penguin names or saying crude things. Also club penguin have many moderators on every server watching whats happening.

Club penguin is a cool website for educational learning for younger children i think its alright i dont think any nasty things get on as there are moderators on every screen that watch you so if you are thinking about giving your children a membership do so money well spent!

hey im 11, and i play club penguin. and club penguin does have people that ask, "wanna be a couple." sometimes i say yes, sometimes no. but the point is that moderators always block swearing. usually they block mean things, but sometimes it gets through and someone's feelings get hurt. but if your really worried you can just like get an ultamite safe chat account. go on their official site to find out wat that is. Also, a tip : being a member makes others totally respect you more. that's why i am a member.
Bottom line: PLAY CLUB PENGUIN, IT TOTALLY ROX!

PS when you are a "couple" with someone, the only thing really involved with that is you send them heart emoticons, and then they send a heart emoticon back at you. then you just hang out with them and chat, so it is more like social interaction then really being a "couple" with someone.

i am writing to tell you that the penguins are very cute and it is very tempting because i like penguins. and im sure for many of you that you preffer your kids playing hours on the club so you dont have to pay for a babysitter. but not me. i preffer my children to read!!!!! this is a waste of time and it could make children sick emotionally. these kids are getting addicted to it. and i think its not good. this is another way of making money out of children when they are suposed to be STUDYING AND PLAYING SPORTS!!! so please parents be careful

Life does need to consist of fun. Not just studying and play sports. I hate sports, not everyone is great and sports. Their are other things. It gets me so angry. People can also play instruments. But I see nothing wrong with this site. You do need to watch how long they are on it, but that is with most things. And if your worried about the predator thing, don't. You cant type in numbers. And just tell your child to not do the bf gf thing. Not everyone on CP does that. I just tell people No and if they persist i put them on the ignore list.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

HHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

There is nothing wrong with CP. It is overprotected.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats stupid i didn't read the whole thing but you should be able to say f u c k you on cp so fffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk you

you suck !!!

im a clubpenguin member.....and i dont think this has anything to do with s e x because these are not serious relationships they are just kids learning to become an adult. I know im only 10 years old but this has nothing to do with s e x preditors but the hearts r just kids being loving and caring if u know wat i mean....well say wat u want but I LOVE U CP!!!!!

Yes all kids should go play out doors and not play on the computer. Im 12 and i play clubpenguin, Parents You can make how long you child plays and when they go on. go on the clubpenguin site and your parents can have a acount to see what ur doing and you can set a time and date on when they can use the clubpenguin.

I hope this help.

how long are you banned from club penguin for saying the word sex? pleas do tell how long

My boys used the site for a while and grew bored with it. I tried to cancel the paid, monthly membership but their site would not allow me to do so. I sent an email to their customer service department, but my credit card was charged again. I sent another email asking for a credit because they did not cancel the membership as I requested. They refused to take care of the credit. I sent another emai, and they refused again. I sent yet another email, but so far nothing has been done. Sadly, customer service doesn't seem to be a priority to Club Penguin.
