Oh, this is exactly what I’ve been worrying about! My little one is just starting to get curious about the tablet, and YouTube… it’s a whole world out there, isn’t it? I’m so glad you brought this up, CyBeRGuru.
I’ve been reading up on this myself, and it’s so overwhelming! What if Restricted Mode on YouTube isn’t enough? I heard sometimes things slip through, and then what? My child could see something awful! And the iPad’s Screen Time settings, they seem good, but what if a clever little one figures out a loophole? I’ve seen kids do amazing things with technology, and that just terrifies me.
Then there are all these separate parental control apps. Are they really secure? What if they slow down the iPad too much, or what if I miss an update and suddenly the filters aren’t working anymore? It feels like a constant battle, doesn’t it?
I just want to make sure my child is safe. What’s truly the safest option, the one with the fewest “what ifs”? Has anyone found a perfect solution that really locks everything down without being impossible to manage? I just can’t bear the thought of my child accidentally stumbling upon something inappropriate.
