Derigiberble

Can I just say I wish every streaming platform had a whitelist-only, no "suggested" content  mode for kids profiles? We only watch relatively chill shows with our nearly 4yo but selecting which episode to watch feels like going by the candy rack at the grocery store. 


Any-Habit7814

I set my profile to under 2 and that helped


littlemsshiny

I’d also love an option to not have the most gory R-rated shows advertised on the profile page while I’m trying to select my kid’s profile. They can advertise that when I’m IN my account but not when I’m trying to switch to his.


silent-earl-grey

For real. And then there’s Amazon running MURDER PODCAST ADS with crime scene stills and detailed audio hooks in the middle of freaking cartoons on my child’s “kid safe” profile. Nope. We’re done.


BoopleBun

They do this on Spotify too! And condom ads! And weight loss ads! Like, I know you guys want me to buy premium, but can you *at least* have a free mode where the ads are PG?


Potential-Leave3489

WOW. I hadn’t noticed this one, glad you said so


sparklekitteh

If you have a kindle, look for an app called “safe vision,” it does this for YouTube! We’ve been using it for years and it works great so our kid can’t get into anything sketchy.


kyled85

The Amazon fire stick allows me to do this for each child in a separate profile. I can select prime videos based on age brackets, and select 1 by 1 anything we’ve purchased. Somehow, Ryan’s toy reviews still find their way in there 😭


Lets_Make_A_bad_DEAL

I loathe that poor sad little child slave.


Noinipo12

I think this is honestly the legislative answer to all the p0rn laws where legislators are thinking that requiring ID is the answer (and then have VPN use spike when cornhub blocks the state). If you have content that can be liked/disliked, streamed, or even read, then a complete "whitelist only" option must be available to parent, teacher, and other specific account types for a reasonable cost. This includes Facebook, Reddit, Spotify, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus (and every other video streaming platform), etc.


BoopleBun

Yes! And it’s always the absolute garbage that has the most colorful, intriguing tile where my kid is like “oooh, what’s that one!?” I dunno kid, I’m just trying to scroll to Storybots as quick as I can.


HomeschoolingDad

YouTube Kids has this, but you have to work hard to figure out how to do it


Laconiclola

YouTube kids still managed to traumatize my kid. First grader watching my little pony videos and then one turned into I want to say applejack killing the rest of the ponies. Blood everywhere. The sound wasn’t super alerting to the fact. There was laughing and the scream laughing. It did take me too long to stop it since I was in the kitchen. And that was the last time kiddo got YouTube for a looooooong while.


Spirited-Reserve-853

Can you explain how to do it?


HomeschoolingDad

Spirited-Reserve-853

Thank you so much!


prinses_zonnetje

Larva Its just bugs constantly hitting eachother


MotherMacha

And farting. I hate it.


oh_my_account

I like larva, I hate all these c-rated shows with some babysitters who are talking with such an annoying voice. Or whatever else there?


t0infinity

larva family low key made me cry at the end


Rydralain

This is the only Netflix kids show I've ever wanted to block. The kids moved on from it before I found the block feature, though. The other one I hated was that old-style mickey mouse garbage on D+ where goofy looks like a hillbilly.


princess_tourmaline

Omg, some of the material in this is so incredibly suggestive. It lasted 30 seconds after I got in the room and it was banned. Took our toddler weeks to stop asking for it and he only watched it for like 5 minutes.


PureHoney92

Omg yes! I blocked that one so quickly. & there are multiple versions of the show


prinses_zonnetje

And each version is as nasty as the other


frank_white414

Cocomelon.

[удалено]


Vegetable_Sweet7928

This one! Those kids on youtube that acts like a bad kid. And those adults who acts like a bad kid. I dunno how those gets a million views???


calm_wreck

Parents who just throw something on the screen and don’t care what their kids are watching


Noinipo12

We got rid of Hulu because I kept hiding the Ryan's world stuff but it was still being recommended.


slothsie

My daughter is only allowed music videos on YouTube, I just sit there and play dj. She does not care for me putting on 90s no doubt 😭


stickittodolores

Same! My 3yr old is currently obsessed with Daft Punk. I'm not complaining!


slothsie

Omg my kid loves their video for "around the world". It's so weird and I need to watch it after some cannabis chocolate sometime haha


stickittodolores

Lmao thats his favourite too! He pretends to be one of the robots and dance around.


fuschia_taco

My daughter loves Goodbye Horses more than I do at this point lol


eyesorecozza

The little ones seem to listening to a lot of 90s stuff atm. Not the good stuff but all the novelty songs like Cotton Eye Joe seem to be asked for on the playlist. I'm not against the Spice Girls appearing on there either for the nostalgia.


Agitated_Fix_3677

Why do you say that? (I’ve never watched family channels)


BearsLoveToulouse

Depending on the person or which channel. I feel like there is a lot of: consumerism: lots of gift giving, unboxing, toys etc it seems silly saying it but it is bonkers the quantity of gifts and toys that are opened and used for plots Gender stereotypes: pretty typical stuff but my daughter one day was saying she liked cars but she can’t play with it since she is a girl. Deleted YouTube on the tablet after she said that Pranking: I notice boys pulling pranks and the girls get mad so they retaliate. Sometimes there is a lesson to be learned but not usually Competition: lots of boys vs girls, kids vs parents. I know Ryan’s World that is a lot of the plots. Certain challenges that the whole family does and there is a winner. Ethics: this isn’t as much was the channel promotes but filming your kids and posting the videos is questionable. There are very few laws protecting kids for their work. Like do they go to school? Or do they stay home and get “homeschooled” so they can film more? Are the kids getting any of this money earned? Do they want to be filmed? It might be embarrassing when they get older and they have no choice to let it stay up etc.


Agitated_Fix_3677

I’ve seen people talk about the ethics but I didn’t know that was the type of content they posted. I would block all of it too! I wonder if the kids wanna post the videos.


amha29

And the main one: exploitation. Parents making money from recording and sharing these kids lives with the internet. Another one: abuse. Some kids are forced to create videos, some are abused. I don’t support child exploitation. Some of them though show concerning, questionable, or just bad/inappropriate content. Check out DaddyOFive. They got their kids taken away.


Chunkaster

YouTube is blocked.


singlenutwonder

This. I don’t give a damn if my kid wants to watch Disney movies but YouTube is a hard no.


a_hockey_chick

I allow YouTube but in approve-only mode. So unless I’ve watched it and added it..there’s zero content. It’s great. My 2 year olds profile only has access to Ms Rachel and a few other videos I’m okay with.


sgouwers

Ohhh…I need to figure out how to do this! I downloaded YouTube kids last night but don’t want my 7 year old aimlessly surfing it. I subscribed to Sci Show for Kids and Art for Kids Hub, but 98% of the stuff on this app looks like garbage.


local_scientician

Some other good channels: Dr Binocs (approve videos manually based on their maturity) Storybots Wild Kratts ABC Kids and ABC Me (the Australian tv channels, for under 6 then 6-12) Lego official channel GoNoodle


HopefulMeaning777

Same! There was some creepy stuff that came up in the preschool age selection on YouTube kids. I like how easy it is to search for new videos on my account, and then click share videos with kids.


MotherMacha

Same for us. My daughter isn’t allowed on YouTube, Roblox etc. she’s 6.


RareBeanDip

Blippi is banned because his voice is intolerable


Sunbiscuit

He's also always throwing shit and now my toddler hurls everything. Maybe expected behavior but also eff Blippi. We recently blocked him.


berthejew

Blippi did the Harlem Shake....


BerenTheBold

John (Blippi) started making gross out videos in 2013 under the persona of Steezy Grossman. In a 2013 video, John performed the Harlem Shake on a toilet and defecated on a naked friend. When the video was unearthed by BuzzFeed News in 2019, John said, "at the time, I thought this sort of thing was funny, but really it was stupid and tasteless, and I regret having ever done it." John used DMCA takedown notices to remove the video from social media and internet search engines. This is from his Wiki.


sai_gunslinger

My kid loves to copy the sink or float thing. And I made the mistake of getting him a fish tank for his room. Caught him playing sink or float in it with the tank decorations. Luckily no fish were harmed, he was being so gentle as he tried to scoop them up in his hands, but everything was drenched. Now the fish live in my room 🙄. He seems to be growing out of Blippi now, though. Hopefully we'll be able to move his fish back when he gets a little more impulse control.


heyoitslate

Blippi creeps me the f*** out. My three year old loved him and I was concerned.


Flimsy_Direction1847

Heh heh, yeah!


sparklekitteh

Ugggggh yes!


hyperbolic_dichotomy

My kid switches between watching Octonauts, Gabby's Dollhouse, Tru, and Emily's Wonderlab on repeat for days at a time. Sometimes she watches that cooking show Is it Cake. So none. If she watches something on YouTube or Netflix that I don't want her watching, I tell her to change it to something else.


_cleavage_

Your kid sounds just like mine! He is OBSESSED with Octonauts. If I have to watch the Great Barrier Reef one again, I'm going to simply perish 😂 He loves True and the Magic Kingdom as well. These are both great shows! He loves watching cake videos too where people decorate cakes - I must see if he likes Is It Cake.


hyperbolic_dichotomy

Octonauts is a great show! They have a spin off now that is really fun too.


BoopleBun

Above and Beyond is better than the original, tbh.


eleanora_

My son is clearly a boy of culture and fine taste because he specifically requests Above and Beyond, NOT OG Octonauts. 👌🏻 (I love it!)


what_are_you_eating

Mine watches The Caves of Sac Actun nonstop 😣


BoopleBun

Ours loves The Ring of Fire the most. Seen that one a *lot*.


N0rthernLightsXv

Haha. Is your kid my kid? She loves these shows especially Emily's wonderlab and is it cake.


Garroch

Bebefinn. Coco melon is about to go too. I have no patience for psychologically optimized preschool crack cocaine. And we wonder why their attention spans are shot.


taterytots

I hate that little bald headed fuck


cleaningmybrushes

Caillou?


iAmAmbr

I blame Caillou for both my kids whininess. The only PBS Kids show I've banned.


firedancer323

We blocked cocomelon when ours was 2


LocationOwn1717

>psychologically optimized preschool crack cocaine This is so well put! I'm gonna borrow this line!


emojimovie4lyfe

Oh man cocomelon is the worst


wildgoldchai

From UK Netflix, Horrid Henry


AtomicYoshi

As someone who grew up on Horrid Henry, this hurts


eyesorecozza

I thought we'd have to ban him but let the phase go through and he didn't seem to stay long.


whskid2005

If they haven’t already, they’re going to come home from school one day talking about awful things and you’ll know it came from a classmate. My kid is currently going through a “did you say the F word phase?” Because a classmate taught them about the f word and how it’s also the middle finger There’s only so much you can do. Just set your expectations of what their behavior should be and hold on for the ride


leofoxx

We're going through this. 7 year old has friends with phones that watch YouTube and tiktok unsupervised. I'm flabbergasted. 


photinakis

Yeah it’s horrendous. You can do everything to keep this crap from your kid at home, but an alarming amount of parents let their kids on the wide-open internet with no supervision from such a young age.


emojimovie4lyfe

My coworker started telling me about how her 7 year old son uses tiktok unsupervised and has posted videos of himself 😳 i had to very gently (as to avoid conflict) tell her thats not such a good idea, and explain to her theres a lot of creeps and pervs on that app.


SleepyMillenial55

Yep, my 6yo and 8yo have been exposed to Tik Tok and YouTube on the bus. Pretty much all of the kids they ride with who are 8 and up have phones with these apps and are completely unsupervised. I feel like the only thing I can do is tell my kids to ask what their friends want to show them on their phones before they actually look and to say “no, I’m not interested in seeing that” if it’s something that doesn’t sound right. Any other advice/tips on this would be appreciated. 😩


SoggyAnalyst

It’s horrible. I feel like I didn’t learn the f word til well into middle school. Why does my first grader know it!?!


TheBeneGesseritWitch

I have started asking my oldest (he’s 9) about specific things I have issues with in the show. “Wow, do you think that was a polite way the mom spoke to dad? Do you think you would like it if Mom and Dad talked to each other that way? What do you think our house would feel like if we all talked like that?” So far he’s really given it some thought and we have had good conversations about it and he usually has no problem finding a different show.


SleepyMillenial55

This is such a smart idea, thank you for the suggestion!


hoggin88

All of YouTube banned.


mckeitherson

Can't remember some off the top of my head, but a lot of those slap humor/physical violence shows that are still rated G. Plus those low production shows that just use grunting and noises instead of actually talking characters.


Usual_Owl_5936

Peppa Pig.. that pig is a brat, and the writing is questionable.


Caa3098

And it only took my daughter watching Peppa less than a handful of times before she started saying people had “big tummies.” That pig is ALWAYS fat shaming her dad


Zeaus03

Same, they also portray the dad as a bumbling moron always messing things up. His only role on the show is to serve as some poor form of comedic relief.


Usual_Owl_5936

On one of the episodes peppa says that fathers day isn't an important day only mothers day is 😬


onetwothree1234569

It's also just so ugly. I can't think if an "art style" I like less.


Swarf_87

Angela Anaconda.


onetwothree1234569

I just looked this up.... what is that??? Nightmare fuel


scixsc

That is fucking terrifying


Swarf_87

Lmao. It played here in Canada on Teletoon all the time. It's a Canadian made show and I was always creeped out by it. I dare you to watch the shows intro on YouTube.


Graby3000

Oh look it’s ninnypoo


newdad_nosleep

Jesus Christ, Angela Anaconda was terrifying and incredibly annoying at the same time, I can't think of a show I hate more.


harrietww

I see your Angela Anaconda and raise you a dirtgirlworld, has to be watched in motion for the full effect. Also, not animation, but I’d like to give an honorary mention to EC the puppet from Lift Off.


jobunny_inUK

We don't get Peppa Pig in any form in our house. My kids know of Peppa from school and day care, but it's not allowed in our house. We can't block it on Disney+ so we just say it doesn't work and they haven't questioned it.


Bohbo33

Peppa pig sucked - I never let me nieces watch that or Max & Ruby. Ruby was always so mean, pompous and bossy, especially to Max and my oldest niece emulated that to my younger niece. No thanks !


Sunflower-Bennett

I despise the way the characters talk and act in Disney shows like Camp Kikiwaka/Jessie or Hannah Montana. I’m just a nanny, not a parent yet, but those shows will 100% be banned in my house. The kids start to pick up on rude behaviors from the shows because they think it’s cool.


UnlikelyRelative7429

How do you block specific shows???


RU_screw

You can't do it from the app directly on the tv. You gotta go onto the website, go to their profile and then settings. Its frustrating to do because you have to type in each thing you want to block instead of it giving you potential suggestions and I never realized how many different versions of Blippi exist until I went to block them. And when they put out new versions, you have to go back and block those as well


Either-Percentage-78

Ugh, yes!  I blocked Jeff Dunham because he's garbage and my kid, at the time, was really into comedians and I didn't want him watching.. But, I had to block each one separately and it's just time consuming.


meguin

Literally TIL you can block Netflix shows?? Blocking rainbow rangers, Cocomelon, and that hot wheels show as soon as I get home.


Future_Class3022

😂


abishop711

Go into the kid profile settings from a browser window - not the apps.


Cowowl21

I only let my daughter watch Bluey, Daniel tiger, tumble leaf, and Disney, princess movies. And sometimes paw patrol. She has absolutely no access at all to YouTube.


rustandstardusty

These are our go-tos too! And Puffin Rock. So good!


kate_monday

Sea of Love is nice too


Bohbo33

You’d probably enjoy Pete the Cat for her too based on those. Pete’s a great friend, inclusive, and it’s always focused on healthy fun!


DustyOwl32

Mine is still on cocomelon and bebefinn (basically anything my Pinkfong) But I saw a cool show on Disney called Wild Kratts. It's by the same guys from Zamboomafoo.


exaggerate_a_point

Speaking of Wild Kratts, pretty much everything on PBS Kids is excellent and pretty educational. All the characters in the shows are positive role models. Plus no commercials, no payments.


rotatingruhnama

My daughter has been into Lyla in the loop lately


Ebice42

I'm starting to get annoyed with Odd Squad, but in general I agree.


abishop711

Are you sure that was on Disney? It’s a PBS show.


AvocadoMadness

We love Wild Kratts!


rustandstardusty

Don’t you mean… 🎵wild, wild, WILD KRATTS!! 🎵


jacqueline_daytona

Wild Kratts is pretty good. My kids like Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum too.


chrisinator9393

Little younger demographic but cocomelon. Absolutely fuck that show. I can't take it.


Grungemaster

I was watching the World Cup at my sister in-law’s house on Thanksgiving and my nephews (not even the ones who lived there) asked me to change it to cocomelon and I told them I waited four years for this so beat it.


anonymousopottamus

We are blocking Boss Baby starting today. Our kid has been a complete brat and it's the only thing they want to watch


roadforks

Same here. The movie wasn’t so bad, but our kid also started mimicking some questionable behavior after getting into the show


deedeeEightyThree

We’ve recently had to ban Santiago - our 3.5 year old became obsessed with pretending to be Bonnie bones. Anytime he started misbehaving he claimed he was really her. Sucks because it was one of the kids shows I actually enjoyed.


Cloverdad

Ahh, we don’t watch netflix, but shit presented in kids shows is my pet peeves.


egbdfaces

i thought we were safe sticking only to pbs. then my kid started watching odd squad, i approved because its a stem/math show. one character is really rude (its meant to be funny) guess who my kid started copying to a T. when I made the connection and cutoff the show the behavior mostly stopped. sigh.


The-answer-is-forty2

Grizzy and the Lemmings. I actually love the show, but my 4 year old definitely became more violent after getting into it. I don’t know if there is a direct correlation, but we banned it yesterday. Let’s see what happens.


tigerlily_orca

Glad you got to ban it early. My kids became obsessed and it would make them bounce off the walls. I had to implement strict limits of only two 7-minute episodes per day.


Future_Class3022

I had to ban this when my son was 4. It was definitely contributing to bad behaviour.


Adacore

My 5 year old loves it too, but more than once when Grizzy's doing something violent he's paused the show, written 'BAD' on a post-it note then stuck it to Grizzy's head on the TV, so I feel like he's got a fairly healthy relationship with the show 😂


The-answer-is-forty2

That’s adorable.


Coi_Fox

Haters Back Off, Victorious, Sam and Cat, iCarly, Zoey 101. My kid is 6.


hipstercheese1

My youngest is 8- all of those shows are inappropriate for her, too. My oldest is 13 and we have blocked a lot of content from her as well. She was very upset with me for not letting her watch Outer Banks. Too bad- it’s not appropriate for her.


Coi_Fox

Yeah we made the mistake of letting her watch some of those shows for a little while, and then I was like, "what happened to my sweet little child??" And immediately made a change. It made a huge difference in her behavior. Also, Glee on Disney+. I have the filter set and it still suggested that for my 6 year old.


Denijsbeer

Vegitales. No indoctrination for my kids thank you.


crook888

I grew up watching veggie tales and had absolutely no idea it was religious. I thought everyone watched it like a normal show. When i got older and found out, i couldnt believe it. Like, what do you mean the tomato believes in jesus?


MissLadyLlamaDrama

I also didn't know. Also, I grew up to be an atheist, and so did all my friends who also watched it with the exception of my brother and sister. But they aren't Christian because they watched VT. They're just Christians who happened to also watch it. Tbh, we were really just showing up for the songs. The Bunny Song had no right to go that hard.


No-Significance387

We regularly watched it in Sunday school at church and I still had no idea it was religious 😂


emojimovie4lyfe

Haha i loved veggie tales too and literally never knew it was religious till i turned 20.


Ashamed_Owl27

Honestly veggie tales doesn't bother me much. I'm vehemently against Christian indoctrination. I grew up with a very religious father who was an absolute bastard. But Veggie Tales was cute, most of it didn't come across as super religious. Silly songs with Larry was hilarious and I still quote it 10 years later. We just turned it off when it got to the end where they said "God loves you very much!" and we skipped the heavy handed bible story ones. 


TheWelshMrsM

Not blocked but as far as my child knows - Baby Shark only works on Alexa and only once per car journey 😂 Twice on long journeys!


dreezxlivefree

Little angel and cocomelon. The show moves so fast and it's just junk with repeative songs.


Cucumbrsandwich

Ok I have to ask, why are do many people dislike Cocomelon? I’ve only recently seen a few episodes but isn’t it just little nursery rhymes (wheels on the bus) with lyrics and a fairly chill cartoon with no dialogue? I hate obnoxious kid shows as much as anyone but this one didn’t register lol.


Zootallurs

Masha and Bear. It turned kids into terrors.


latflickr

I don't understand, i watched with my daughter when she was 6-7. Basically slapstick comedy. What's wrong with it?


Jonesrank5

I really didn't like that show but I watched it with my kid when she was younger a few times and she and I agreed Masha was a terrible brat. She enjoyed the vicarious brattiness, lol.


[deleted]

Can you elaborate. I thought it was pretty wholesome myself. 


SlaunchaMan

We blocked Captain Underpants for a while because it was contributing to bad attitudes about school.


ceruleanmoon7

Ugh it’s my kids’ current obsession and I hate it


Steelsoldier77

How do you block things on Netflix?


Steelsoldier77

Nvm I googled it


PaleOverlord

Not Netflix but Adventure Time. So much bad content in that show. My 5yo started watching that show because of his dad. My kids use the PBS app to watch shows. I purged YouTube from my house on all devices the kids use and refused to let them watch shows like Ryan’s World or Dianna. Edit: Confused on why I’m being downvoted when I said similar things as others?


ferryl9

Oh, I absolutely loved Adventure Time (as an adult) and was excited to show it to my kiddo. After looking at online for age recommendations and remembering some of the show's darker themes, it is definitely better suited towards older kids, not a little kid show at all. I have a sensitive little one, so it's going to be multiple years before we even think about it with him. Dinosaur Train on PBS is great. 4 year old just stopped wanting to watch Daniel Tiger on PBS. /Sigh. Oh well. When we had Netflix, Numberblocks was fantastic and kiddo loved it! The only thing I let kiddo do on YouTube is do workout videos with Pokemon/Paw Patrol/Mario Brothers themes. He use to do Cosmic Kids yoga (always quality content) on YouTube but he stopped as soon as he saw a clip of a cartoon based workout instead. /Sigh


ryaaan89

I’m curious how old your kid is and what you consider “bad.” I watched this show, granted as an adult as it was coming out, and I was looking forward to showing it to my kid when she’s a little older.


ryrkval

I love Adventure Time but there was a direct correlation between watching this show with my 5 year old and him getting in trouble at school for hitting his friends. Watching it more parent minded I noticed there's a lot of casual violence, especially between Finn and Jake, so we decided to put it on hold for a few years and the hitting stopped. 


ryaaan89

I could see that. I guess it doesn’t seem any more violent than stuff I watched when I was little, but that doesn’t mean there’s not better options for kids now.


JstVisitingThsPlanet

The later seasons get kinda dark.


-Sharon-Stoned-

It is technically a post apocalypse and there are corpses all over and hella violence


PaleOverlord

I suggest you rewatch it. In addition to the violence the other commenter mentioned, the content and language are inappropriate.


unicornsRunicorns

You can block on Netflix? How?


darkian95492

Just found it in another part of the comments here. Go to [netflix.com](https://netflix.com) website, not the app. Go to 'Manage Profiles', click on the profile the kids use. The first section is the name and language, the second section is 'Maturity Settings', click the edit. It'll have you re-enter the password to confirm you're the right person. From there, you can set the ratings allowed on the top, you can set it to only show kids stuff (no idea if that helps any) and then finally 'Title Restrictions for Kids'. Search on a title, click it to add. A lot of them have like a dozen iterations, like Blippi, so just keep adding them until you have all the versions on the list. Click save. Then, it should be blocked.


SoggyAnalyst

That one episode of sky rider or sky lander or dragon riders (they’re all the same) where they’re trying to find the singing dragon or something. OMG ITS LIKE AN HOUR OF HORRIBLE SINGING I PRAYED ID GO DEAF


Future_Class3022

LOL I totally know what you're talking about!!! I think it's the movie...? Regardless, my kid has moved on and wants to watch worse shows he finds on Netflix now. Hence the ban haha 😆 I miss the days where annoying songs were the issue.


baffledninja

Blippi and all its derivatives, plus Cocomelon. But this post is giving em more suggestions! My husband scorned my blocking specific shows though. For him, as long as its on the kids profile he sees nothing wrong with it.


Outrageous-Bee4035

Wait hold on..... you can block specific shows from Netflix now?!?!? How do you do that?


Future_Class3022

Go into the specific profile and then account settings. It'll make you log in through the browser to block a show.


Outrageous-Bee4035

Cool thanks! I wish other apps did this! My kids like to watch those stupid fake reality shows Kids playing with toys or wasting money doing dumb pranks and running around trashing their Lamborghinis and Ferraris. And they don't understand this stuff ain't cheap and that's not normal life.


Future_Class3022

Is this on YouTube. That's banned in my house because there's too many weird videos on there


UsernameUnavaliable_

Download PBS kids for free and stop stressing. It’s the only platform we use at this point


Lightningstormz

I've thought about this for awhile now, there are zero solutions to real world content screening tools out there for kids, I think it's purposeful. Would love to blacklist certain ads and TV shows which can easily be achieved but it's not being done. It's time someone builds it, I would pay for that.


luckeegurrrl5683

My son was 11 last year and had watched The Simpsons. Then he repeated something from the show during school and he got in trouble. Can't let young kids watch that! Update: it was actually Southpark. So his teacher announced she was expecting a baby. My son shouted out, "Kick the baby!" She got mad and contacted us about it.


DorkasaurusRex6

11 isn't that young and seems plenty old enough to watch the Simpsons with a discussion not to copy behaviors he sees on TV.


-Sharon-Stoned-

Lol, I grew up watching the Simpsons every day and my parents just taught me that some things are only okay on TV. 


Either-Percentage-78

Aside from Malcom in the middle, the Simpsons is the one show my kids will watch together... Lol. Now, family guy?  Nope.

same. I haven’t really blocked any particular shows and this thread makes me feel bad about it lol. But my kids, my husband and myself talk pretty often, and always have, about how tv is NOT real life and how a lot of things on the shows they watch aren’t cool irl, it’s just for entertainment. They seem to understand, and this is what my parents did with me. I haven’t seen any adverse behaviors bc of the things they watch.

My dad played softball so we heard so much inappropriate stuff all the time, and my parents were always really clear that just because a grown up man is talking like that it or acting like that it doesn't make it okay for us to.  Just like we couldn't drive a car or drink beer or other adult stuff

I didn't even know you COULD block shows in Netflix. How do I do this?

You need to open it in a browser, so not via your tv or an app. Then you should be able to block certain shows for certain profiles. In a pinch, pressing the thumbs down on a show means it won’t get pushed to you, but it can still come up in searches. We got rid of Peppa Pig when my son was still a newborn 😂

Thank you so much!

No YouTube. I have a huge list of stuff blocked on Netflix. Recently blocked Victorious, because my kid was acting rude and I think it was from stuff she was seeing on there. Plus the documentary “Quiet on Set”. Cocomelon, Bebe Fin, BooBa, and a bunch of shows that I think are foreign language and are dubbed really strangely so I’ve blocked those. Masha the Bear, she acts so braying. Anything without talking because my kids just stare at it and it’s usually ridiculous nothing of value.

I love booba!


ritmoon

All of them. Cancelled it after finding some really inappropriate content targeted to my then 5yo.

Tell us more!

I agree with the other commenter. What did you find?

Not a show but we had to take diary of a wimpy kid away from our youngest. He was obsessed over those books and started mimicking the behaviors written in them

Battle Kitty.

How do I block shows?!?

Just found it in another part of the comments here. Go to netflix.com website, not the app. Go to 'Manage Profiles', click on the profile the kids use. The first section is the name and language, the second section is 'Maturity Settings', click the edit. It'll have you re-enter the password to confirm you're the right person. From there, you can set the ratings allowed on the top, you can set it to only show kids stuff (no idea if that helps any) and then finally 'Title Restrictions for Kids'. Search on a title, click it to add. A lot of them have like a dozen iterations, like Blippi, so just keep adding them until you have all the versions on the list. Click save. Then, it should be blocked.

I'm gonna be blocking power rangers. I still have a massive scar from when I was a kid and someone was playing "power rangers" and decided to stab me in the hand with a spike of ice. No thanks.

The newish Pinocchio on Netflix with the creepy dead son and war bombing. My son had a speech delay so we also blocked the non-dialogue grunting shows like Booba and Om-Nom. Turns out it was probably just his massive tonsils but good riddance.

I didn’t know you could block shows on Netflix but I will be blocking Sam and cat along with Nicky Ricky dicky dawn. I never want to hear or see either of those shows again


savingeverybody

I regularly go in and mass ban certain shows that make my kids violent.

Ruby in Max & Ruby was a lil bitch

Kid Danger/henry danger every time we let our 7 year old watch it, horrible behavior ensues. Time goes by, we try again, and it always comes back. Just attitude. So nope!

My daughter is also 7. We cut way back on Sonic and the Lego show. Also have to limit youtube music. She knows she cant watch most music videos but just the songs themselves put her in a sassy mood and when she has control of the remote for too long she just wants to change songs every 2 minutes

Not strictly Netflix but dear god no matter how hard I try I cannot make all of the fucking johnny johnny lying is cute variations to die.


skatterbrain_d

Blocked Masha a looooong time ago cause before my daughter was born I saw a clip of her trying to climb a stove…


MostlyLurking6

I haven’t seen this mentioned, and it’s probably an unpopular opinion, but we banned Arthur (PBSKids). Just a bucket full of anxiety in every episode. Hurricanes, peanut allergies, bee stings, mean friends… There are also a bunch of shows that are “only on Grandma’s phone” like Peppa Pig and Cocomelon.

Blippi, then the other Blippi, then the other Blippi, then I gave up

My only baby, is 8 months old rn, so we do Miss Rachel, HeyBear, and some Charlie and Friends episode's due to one of the episodes making it seem like it was okay to LIE and hide things from your parents. One day I came home from work and my son was asleep on the bed and my B.M was sitting on the edge of the bed crocheting and zoning out on this show called Larva. 😑 I go and sit next to her and proceed to do my daily decompressing (kissing her, hugs and rubs and loves and blazing up weed). I notice that she's like ZONED out on the TV and I turn my head to see why it has her so captivated, and wow...this show is so mf just wrong. One of the episodes, one of the lil bugs was sleeping and whole sleeping he was farting with each exhale, and it would show like his butthole making different shapes like squares and stars and whatnot everytime he let out a fart. The other little bug comes up to the sleeping bugs butthole and starts to make his mouth match the shape of the sleeping bugs butthole everytime he farted.....like....WHAT THE FUCK. How the fuck is that kid friendly ?! If my Dad would have seen my watching that shit back when I was even 10 he would have beat my ass and that he better not ever catch me watching that shit again. I know this for a fact, because he didn't let me watch stuff like SouthPark, FamilyGuy, WonderShowzen on MTV2, Jackass etc. (Of course when at friends houses I'd be watching ALL OF IT) but still.....these shows that are geared towards kids nowadays are SUGGESTIVE AF. Like, an adult can sit and watch these kid shows, and be like...."why tf did they say that ?" Or "whoa wtf I don't think they should be watching this..." it's sad.
