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 applica�on 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 can even control in - app searching. Parents/caregivers can also set viewing �mers to help monitor and control app usage. YouTube Kids can be a good alterna�ve to YouTube as it introduces our youngest to digital media on our terms and with specific, child - friendly boundaries.
