How to Use YouTube Parental Controls During Each Age and Stage of Life In the rest of this post, we would like to give practical, age-specific advice to parents about YouTube for each major childhood stage. Only hours after YouTube boasted about removing 8.3 million objectionable videos during the first quarter of 2018, Buzz Feed found thumbnails boasting bestiality. Not only that, but with over 300 hours of videos being uploaded every minute of every day, YouTube can’t hire enough people or create an algorithm smart enough to clear out the filth. The constant stimulation of screens is disrupting their attention template, making it difficult for kids to focus, imagine, self-reflect, and simply be still with their thoughts. The emerging science around what are being coined as Glow Kids is frightening (kids who grow up immersed in digital devices). Most kids spend far too many hours watching videos, particularly on YouTube. I’m going to start off with a bold statement. YouTube (owned by Google) does have Restricted Mode, which is their version of parental controls that is supposed to block most objectionable content, but it functions differently on different devices, which can cause frustration. It’s one of the most difficult online experiences for parents to control. I speak to a group of parents almost once a week and I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t asked about YouTube.
