Common conclusions

Youtube Kids is a safer online experience for kids. However, you need to set up an account first and adjust the settings by turning off the “Search” button. That way, your kids will be restricted from searching videos from other networks.

Log in to your Youtube account and go to Settings. Enable the Restricted Mode Setting to prevent your kids from watching unsuitable content and harsh comments.

For iPhone users, you can restrict what your kids watch by going to the Settings and selecting “General.” Please choose the options for Restrictions, turn it on, and set a passcode. Through this, you can make sure that your kids are only watching or downloading age-appropriate content.

Before worrying about your kid’s most viewed Youtube videos, make sure you have turned on the Google Safe Search. Go to Google settings and click “Search Settings.” Check the “Turn on SafeSearch” and lock it.

Try installing a Net Nanny device or router at home to block specific sites and inappropriate contents from being accessed by your kids.

Consider creating a separate channel for your kids that they can use before they start watching videos. You can set up particular categories and subscriptions for them to stick to. Make sure to check their search history and filter the ones you don’t like them to see.

Watching videos with your kids will help you give awareness as to what kind of videos they like to watch and, at the same time, monitor them if they aren’t going beyond your restrictions.

Aside from setting up all the possible options in restricting your kids while using Youtube, consider watching it with them, especially if you aren’t that busy, to personally guide them onto what kind of Youtube videos to watch.
