News India Live, Digital Desk: Nowadays, every house has the same story. As soon as the mobile comes in hand, the child gets lost in the world of YouTube Shorts where he does not even realize the time. The thumb just keeps sliding upwards and the reel never stops. We parents get upset and either snatch the phone or scold them, but do you know that YouTube has given some very special Parental Control Features to ease our problem? Yes, now you do not need to be a guard. Let us understand in simple words why these features are so special and how you can control your child’s screen time. Why are these features important and ‘special’? YouTube’s ‘Supervised Experience’ is special because it not only blocks content but also applies filters according to the age of the child. Suppose your child is 8 years old or 13 years old, then YouTube will serve videos accordingly. The most interesting thing in this is that you can decide for yourself whether he will watch only educational videos or light entertainment ones. It strikes a perfect balance between the child’s curiosity and safety. How to control? (Easy way) Take a Break: Often the child himself does not remember that he has been sitting with the phone for hours. You can go to Settings and set a ‘Break Reminder’ of 15 or 30 minutes. Once the time is up, a funny message will appear on the screen reminding the child to put down the phone. Bedtime Reminder: If your child watches videos late at night, you can set a bedtime. After this, the phone’s sound or video playing will stop, which will not disturb his sleep. Content Filtering: By going to your settings, you can choose 3 types of levels: Explore, Explore More, or Most of YouTube. ‘Explore’ is the safest for small children. Screen Time Limit: You can completely monitor the child’s ‘Supervised Account’ from your own phone and lock the videos after a certain time. A little advice friends, just relying on technology is not enough. Whenever you turn on these settings, talk to your child. Explain to them that you are not stopping them from watching the video, but are taking care of their time and eyes. When we talk lovingly, children will not follow the rules as much as they get angry when their phone is taken away. Let technology become your child’s friend, not his enemy. Check these settings today and breathe easy! How did you like this information? Are the children in your house also victims of shorts addiction?
