When it comes to video streaming, YouTube is a go-to platform even for parents. Access to how-to videos on parenting, entertainment, tips, and more are available on YouTube. You can find just about anything when you search for the right keywords.
With all the unlimited reach to various kinds of content, it also offers a disadvantage to children. Kids these days love to watch their favorite videos on YouTube. But, they can also get a glimpse of topics that are not ideal for them.
Fortunately, Google allows you to create a Kids profile to filter adult content when your children are watching. Using YouTube Kids, you can set parental controls on your kid’s profile and make sure no inappropriate videos appear. However, you may sometimes see one or two videos that may not appear to be to your liking.
