Raising kids in the age of smartphones and tablets comes with an extra dose of parental anxiety. As our young ones increasingly use devices to tap into vast digital worlds, how can we make sure their adventures are age-appropriate and safe? One major source of potential concern is YouTube and the massive array of content – both wondrous and questionable – available at any given moment.
As parents, we don’t want to completely restrict our children from a platform with so much educational and creative potential. But we also need to shield them from videos and channels that just aren’t right for their age and developmental stage. That’s where YouTube’s parental control tools come in extremely handy!
