Parents with children under four years old, do you let your kids YouTube?

I just endured my own Baby Shark Week . Took my kids and grandkids on vacation last week, and this was relentless. It has been melted into my brain and won't go away.

I thought having to watch The Lion King over and over on VHS with my kids was bad. That was a pleasure compared to this.

Don't let the internet raise your children for you.

About the only things my kids enjoy on YouTube are music videos and Fail Army videos.

My 4yo discovered some kid version of YouTube on her Kindle. It was actually quite amusing watching her go find paper so she could learn how to draw Batman and Robin from the video she found.

We killed the Youtube last year. I kept an eye on my 5 year olds watch history and it was mainly silly kid stuff. Then I saw her watching some My Little Pony skit people were doing about child abuse. Like daddy came home acting weird and got the belt out. It was a little disturbing.

She's allowed to watch YouTube Kids on her Ipad.

My friend is a kid brain doctor and he calls iPads “psychopads” because all the evil kids he sees have them

Yeah that's how they came to enjoy them. My daughter will ask "put on the video of people falling down."

My son is 3. He gets to use it for 20 mins before he goes to bed. He watches a bunch of songs that teaches numbers, colors, letters etc. He learns a lot watching them. To me it’s an extension of his education

Your 4 year old has their own kindle? My 4 year old asks to go outside and jump on the trampoline or swing.

My nieces were playing on my phone last weekend and downloaded Musically and some other aggravating as shite app. They are 8 and 9. Based on what I've seen opening these apps the only options you have in the technology age is to raise your kids Amish.

I don't think people realize just how much educational stuff is on YouTube.

Our 5 year old watches some of the minecraft videos with our 9 and 12 year old.
None of my kids "YouTube" really.
They only watch video game stuff. (DanTDM and Stampy mostly)

Our 1 year old (almost 2) can get on the Ipad, get on Netflix, and select the movies/cartoons he wants to watch.

Y’alls kids must be weak formula kids if they’d rather watch YouTube than go outside
