I'm a mom to an 8 yr old and a 4 yr old. My initial challenge was similar - managing screen time, but I was also concerned about the content of some of the videos. Enabling safe search was not adequate.
To solve this problem for myself, I built an HTML5 Youtube player app which allows parents to set daily time quotas and flag inappropriate videos. I've replaced YouTube with this app on our iPad. The kids don't exceed the quotas that I've set often, but its useful to have a history of how much they've been watching and what they've been watching. I did flag some music videos that were inappropriate. The kids seem to like the fact that they have their own profiles.
The app is still work in progress, but if you are interested , take a look at http://www.olipie.com/ http://www.olipie.com/. Any feedback or suggestions are most welcome.
