Being a tech-forward parent presents its own unique set of challenges, and letting your kids use YouTube is one of the best examples of this.
I have trouble believing that YouTube is safe for adults most days, which is why I'm often hovering over my children to ensure whatever they are watching on Google's video service is safe. It's not even that YouTube is bad for children — the service just plain wasn't built to cater specifically to little heads, and that can cause problems. User-targeted pre-roll ads and algorithm-generated "what to watch next" videos aren't great for youngsters, to say nothing of the toxic wasteland that your average comments section tends to resemble.
To resolve this, Google has released YouTube Kids. It's an entirely separate app with its own set of rules, and if you're a parent looking at this as a potential solution to YouTube proper for your kids, here's what you need to know.
