Lying to your kids is a terrible idea, unless you want to breed distrust and resentment.
- xrd 3y agoThis is the dilemma. They aren't rational about what YouTube does to their brains. They don't understand. And YouTube isn't honest either. What's the right approach to fight it other than complete abstinence? There are a lot of dishonest actors in the Internet world, how do you be honest in a sea of drug dealers in another industry?

With the lack of options out there, finding a way to preview content before it's made available seems the way to go. Doing it early and keeping it that way seems to be the trick. But kids will often learn there is a "different" youtube on other family member's phones, or kids at school.
