We believe that real-world priorities such as homework, chores, and family dinner should take precedence over entertainment, so if you're looking for ways to manage your children's World of Warcraft play time, we've got your back. World of Warcraft's Parental Controls provide parents and guardians with easy-to-use tools for creating play schedules and setting up custom rules that fit each family's situation. With these tools, you can:

• Set limits on the number of hours your child is allowed to play each day and/or each week.
• Create a custom play schedule that allows your child to play only during the times you designate, or select from pre-set schedules such as "weekends only."
• Receive weekly play-time reports via email, providing you with a detailed breakdown of when and how long your child has played over the previous week.
• Manage access to World of Warcraft's built-in voice chat, determining whether they are able to listen to and speak to other players using the feature.

To get started with Parental Controls, just follow these simple steps:

Step One: Log in to Parental Controls from any computer using your child's Battle.net account login name and password.

Step Two: If this is your first time using Parental Controls, enter your child's Battle.net account name, password, authenticator code (if your child has one), and secret question and answer. If your child has more than one World of Warcraft account, select which one to manage.

Step Three: Set your Parental Controls password and email address. Use an email address your child does not have access to, and choose a password different from the one used to log in to the game.

Step Four: Use the Parental Controls' Web interface to set daily and hour limits, opt to receive play-time report emails, create a custom schedule, and manage voice-chat access.

Step Five: Once you're happy with the rules you've established, enter your Parental Controls password and click Save Settings.
