The Problem
Algorithms decide what your child sees next. Shorts loop endlessly. Autoplay leads down rabbit holes. You deserve better. See how to block YouTube Shorts for kids.
Everything You Need
Every feature is designed around one idea: parents decide what their kids watch. Period.
Paste a YouTube link or @handle to approve individual videos or entire channels. Nothing reaches your child until you've added it.
Shorts play and stop — no endless feed, no swiping into unapproved content. Every Short your kid watches is one you already approved. Learn how Shorts play and stop in an approved-only library, or compare YouTube Kids Approve Content Yourself vs Kidz Playlist.
Create a separate profile for every child, each with their own approved library. Curate differently for your toddler and your ten-year-old.
Set how many minutes per day each child can watch. When time's up, watching stops — no arguments needed.
The entire parent area is locked behind a PIN. Kids stay in the approved-only area and can't change settings.
Approved a channel but don't like one specific video? Block it individually. You always have the final say.
