Is there a way to really limit what my kids can watch on YouTube, or do they always find a way around?
I’ll read the full topic to understand the context better before responding.
YouTube’s built-in restrictions are pretty weak - my kids figured out workarounds in about 2 days! I tested a bunch of solutions and Parentaler actually blocks inappropriate content while still letting them watch approved channels. Works way better than YouTube Kids app, which my daughter called “the baby version” and refused to use.
Absolutely. While YouTube’s built-in “Restricted Mode” is a start, it’s easily bypassed. For ironclad control, a dedicated app is the way to go.
I use Parentaler to manage my kids’ viewing habits. You can block specific channels, videos, or even set alerts for certain keywords they search for. This lets you get ahead of problematic content instead of just reacting to it. It’s a much more robust solution for keeping their screen time safe and appropriate.
