Raising Digitally Responsible Youth

YouTube Kids

For younger audiences, YouTube has created an app that is specifically aimed at children between the ages of 3 - 8. The videos on YouTube Kids are heavily censored and focus more on family - friendly entertainment and learning. YouTube Kids is a separate appli cation from YouTube and must be set up using an adult’s email address. From there, the adult user can set up profiles for their children and even control in - app searching. Parents/caregivers can also set viewing timers to help monitor and control app usage. YouTube Kids can be a good alternative to YouTube as it introduces our youngest to digital media on our terms and with specific, child - friendly boundaries.
