YouTube Kids


We all know and love YouTube. Our kids, even at their young age, enjoy watching videos. However, when they do, we need to keep a watchful eye. YouTube has a lot of content that is inappropriate for children and we all want to keep them safe. Did you know that YouTube has a special version of itself for children? Well, they do! It takes a minute or two to set up and it's an amazing way to keep your child safe online. When you let them go on through their account all of the content will be age appropriate. It's possible to do this for multiple children. For example, if you have a preschooler and a 5th grader, make each an account. The recommended content will align with their ages and signing them in and out takes seconds. Very cool and highly recommended.
