Create a bookmark folder of YouTube channels you have deemed appropriate so that your children can easily access them without needing to search within YouTube.This system is mainly based on community-reported flagging, so many videos that should be restricted aren’t, while some that have no reason to be restricted are. Don’t rely on “restricted mode” to filter out inappropriate content.Stampy’s videos are lighthearted, fun Minecraft tutorials combined with silly storylines. Stampy is a cake-loving Minecraft cat voiced by Brit Joseph Garrett, who has a yuk-yuk-yuk laugh you will need to learn to love. I’ve also included a video from each channel so you can get an idea of what each channel produces. These are 9 of the YouTube gaming channels with which I am comfortable and which my kids love. I know there is bad content that will slip past my filters, and I understand YouTubers are human and will make mistakes too. The channels on our list fit these standards for the most part. Most Five Nights at Freddy’s content (seriously – the premise of that game is DARK).
My approval for an OK YouTuber generally depends on a “trust my Mom gut” reaction, but there are some specific things I have deemed inappropriate for my 5 and 8 year old kids: If they hear about a new channel they would like to explore, they know that I have to approve the channel first before adding it to the list. We have established an “OK YouTubers” list and my kids are very good about sticking only to channels on that list.
We quickly realized that boundaries needed to be set to avoid the kids stumbling onto content they shouldn’t be watching. My kids started asking so they could learn more about Minecraft, and it sort of spiraled from there. Mostly my grade school aged children are asking for permission to watch YouTube. Other parent friends and I have noticed how little our kids are asking to watch TV anymore. They don’t have Saturday morning cartoons they have YouTube.
Remember excitedly getting up on Saturday mornings, pouring yourself a bowl of dry cereal and plopping down in front of a morning-long block of cartoons? Me too! You know who doesn’t remember that? Any of our kids.
