Digital Smarts - YouTube Parent Resources

You are here

A new survey from KidSay reveals YouTube is the number one website amongst “tweens” (ages eight to eleven), despite the policy that you must be 13 or older to create an account. If your tween seems to be spending more and more time on the video site you may want to take a look at the tools and tips sections of the Parent Resources section of the YouTube site. There, the number one piece of advice is to visit the channel your child or teen has set up. Check out their favorites and which YouTube channels they are subscribed to. Favorites and subscriptions can give you clues about what they are watching on the site.
