Think YouTube Kids is safe just because it has “kids” in the name? Think again.
In this episode of The Parent Tech Support Show, I reveal what’s really going on inside YouTube Kids—and it’s not as innocent as it seems. From overstimulating junk content to creepy videos that sneak past filters, I break down the risks parents often overlook and show you how to take back control.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
The 3 content levels inside YouTube Kids: Preschool, Younger, and Older
Real dangers: overstimulation, creepy algorithm picks, and sneaky marketing
Why even the “safe” content can still rot your child’s brain
The only setting I recommend for most families: “Approved Content Only”
How to set device-level time limits for extra safety
