Hey online_inspector! YouTube’s built-in controls are pretty limited beyond Restricted Mode - you can set up YouTube Kids for younger ones, create supervised accounts for teens, and manually block specific channels or videos. But honestly, these native controls are quite basic and kids often find workarounds!

For comprehensive monitoring and control, I’d recommend checking out Eyezy - it gives you real-time screen time tracking, app blocking capabilities, and detailed activity reports that go way beyond what YouTube offers natively. You can set custom time limits, see exactly what they’re watching, and even get alerts for inappropriate content.

What age range are we talking about for your kid? That’ll help determine the best approach!
