My 6 years old watches way too much YouTube daily. I turned on restricted model on all my devices, still lots of contents are not quite healthy and super addictive to a 6 year old. I think my last option is to block YouTube entirely from my home’s WIFI. Wonder what is the easiest way to do so on my iPhones and PCs?
Can you block it in router? Or look into raspberry Pi for filtering /monitoring all traffic
If your router supports it, you could block from the router itself.
Cut cord then...
Thanks folks... I will take a look into my router later tonight
Kudos. You taught your kid too much tech way too early. You probably thought the iq will increase if you let them do tech. No?
As we work in tech, and have to WFH occasionally, and have to watch phone for emails, I see no practical ways to not let my kids touching those...
Don't let your kid touch your phone? Just because you check your email doesn't mean your kid has to. Hasn't been much an issue for us, until I started seeing the (non tech) grandparents teaching our kids how to use the phone... :/
Delete YouTube app on your TV and mobile
I don’t know how to block it but my 2 year old is enamored with the low budget animations on there, trucks getting paint dumped on them. It’s terrifying.
This is a legit struggle in our house with our 3.5 y/o. We found content on YouTube kids to be a bit less zombiefying. That said, we still do a tech purge every few weeks for a couple days. We find this achieves some balance as he is not quite up to grasping proportionality. Unfortunately since kiddo 2 showed up 6 months ago the I-nanny has become real in our house at times.
Same here... I and my wife was able to control screen time better in the past... However with our second, it becomes much harder. Also I feel Netflix’s child channels are much healthier than restricted YouTube, but... my 6 years old chooses YouTube every time...
Get a parental control software.

You should be able to login to your router and block it there
