What Parents Need to Know
About YouTube
Parents need to know that anyone can view anything on this video-sharing site. Because the videos aren't rated for age-appropriateness, you never know what you're going to get. That’s part of the fun of the YouTube -- but it makes it hard to know what your kids are viewing unless you're supervising. But it's not just the video content that's a concern. User comments can be rude and negative, and even benign searches can return X-rated results. Still, YouTube remains one of the most creative outlets on the Web, offering kids myriad ways to exercise their creativity.

Families Can Talk About
- Preschool: From The Wiggles to Sesame Street, lots of preschool shows have dedicated channels on YouTube. To avoid finding videos that might be inappropriate, stick to shows you know or preview them before showing your preschooler. Learn about the effects of scary movies on kids and always sit with preschoolers while they use the computer.
- Elementary school: Kids this age love to find silly stuff on YouTube -- especially with their friends -- but they can also stumble across age-inappropriate material. Learn more about managing their YouTube use. Also, reinforce the importance of Internet Safety.
- Middle school: As kids start developing their own interests, they may gravitate towards digital media creation -- a hobby you can feel good about nurturing, as long as they're smart about how they use YouTube.
- High school: If teens are following the rules of good Internet behavior, you can allow them a certain level of independence in using YouTube. See why it's still important to remain vigilant about YouTube in the teen years.
