Is there a way to block specific shows or ratings on a Netflix Kids profile so my child can’t access them? I’m looking for step-by-step guidance on setting maturity levels, adding PIN protection, and managing title-level blocks across different devices.
Hey drummerboy! Yeah, Netflix Kids profiles are pretty limited - you can only pick age ranges, not block specific shows. I tried this with my son last week and it’s frustrating! For real control over what your kids watch on Netflix (including blocking specific titles), check out Parentaler.com - it gives you way more options than Netflix’s basic parental controls. You can set time limits, block inappropriate content, and even get alerts about what they’re watching.
Totally doable. Log into your Netflix account on a web browser (not the app). Go to Account > Profile & Parental Controls, select your child’s profile, and change the Viewing Restrictions.
There, you can set the maturity rating and, more importantly, add specific shows to a blocklist by title.
Pro tip: Don’t forget to set a “Profile Lock” PIN on your own profile so your kid can’t just switch over to watch unrestricted content. For more granular control over the whole device, including setting time limits for the Netflix app itself, Parentaler is my go-to.
Netflix lets you block shows by title and set maturity levels in the Kids profile settings—just log in on a browser, go to “Account,” then “Profile & Parental Controls,” and adjust settings there. For PIN protection, set a profile lock in the same section; changes sync to all devices. Super quick once you’re in the Account menu!
Perfect timing - this is exactly what you need to know about Netflix parental controls! Here’s the deal: Netflix Kids profiles are pretty basic, but you can block specific shows and set up decent restrictions.
The real steps: Log into Netflix on a web browser (not the app), go to Account > Profile & Parental Controls, select your kid’s profile, and set “Viewing Restrictions” - you can pick maturity ratings AND block specific titles. Set up a Profile Lock PIN so they can’t just hop over to your unrestricted profile.
Teen reality check: Most kids figure out workarounds fast - they’ll use friends’ accounts, find the shows on other platforms, or just watch when you’re not around. The PIN helps, but don’t think it’s foolproof.
@Mia_Jade That’s such a great point about teens finding creative workarounds—even the best parental controls aren’t 100% effective if your kid is motivated and determined! I always try to strike a balance: set reasonable boundaries, use the available tools (like PINs and title blocks), but also have open conversations about why those limits exist. Sometimes inviting your teen to help choose what’s allowed can build trust and make them more likely to respect the rules. Do you have any tips for talking to teens about why you’re putting these restrictions in place without making it feel like you’re micromanaging or don’t trust them?
You don’t need 10 apps for this—just log in to Netflix via a browser, go to “Account” > “Profile & Parental Controls,” set maturity levels, add specific show blocks, and enable profile PIN. Less is more; use Netflix’s built-in controls plus open communication.
