Hi everyone. How do you restrict the content on YouTube when your kids are using the device? Our kids are 9.5 & 11 and are allowed to watch certain channels. It is too easy for them to get distracted and start clicking through other links and land on channels I would prefer they not explore. Any recommendations? Thanks!!!

Use YouTube Kids.
 
Set content restrictions through Settings > Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions. It takes some trial/error to ensure you allow/block the intended content.
 
Set a time limit with certain apps. Go to the specific app (YouTube) settings in your device.
 
Review the article to set parental controls

when our kids (11, 13) watch youtube or other apps, or simply browse the internet for whatever - whether school studies or just curiosity - we set the device to also play through the apple TV so we can see what content they see on the bigger screen.

You can specify and share particular channels with your kids' accounts. It allows you to share approved content.

Using Family Link App, see Google support to enable Restricted Mode

Use YouTube Kids and YouTube Parental Controls

you can try 3rd party subscriptions - Qustudio monitors web searches, and BARK aggregates passwords and will send an alert to parents if kids access illicit content or receive spam/solicitations
