I wish there was a way to filter youtube. I can block it completely on my firewall, but how do I let my kids watch their piano lesson without getting sucked into something they shouldn’t see?
That is the easy part. my kids piano lessons track which is next and their practice, then the video is embedded. it also doesn’t work on the roae unless I get a vpn.
Could create a playlist of the lessons in jellyfin, iduno if its secure enough to use without a vpn though. Could just save them to a usb drive or laptop instead 🤷
Talk to them honestly without pandering about how to be discerning about what they watch?
Find things to watch with them that are genuinely enjoyable for you both?
Make sure you always interact with them in an open, accepting, genuinely-involved way so that they tell you what they’ve been watching and respect your opinions on those things?
Parents: don’t let your babies on the Interwebs.
That’s easy. What about when they get older?
Then you have to set up parenting filters. Firewalls, content filters, read logs, etc.

You either watch it with them, download it for them to play offline (try ClipGrab, its free) or they don’t watch it.

Sure, then they go watch the garbage anyway. Often until very late at night if I don’t take away their school device that I can’t lockdown…
When they are older I guess you can beg big brother and nanny state to hold their hand.
