Kid got addicted to YouTube
Our 7 year old got hooked on these YouTube gaming channels and it spiraled out of control. He was watching every free moment and sneaking the ipad at night. We had to go cold turkey and take it away for 2 weeks. Things are better now but he still asks about it constantly. How do you guys prevent this stuff from happening in the first place?
How old is he? We've been trying different approaches with our kids at different ages. For our youngest we just removed YouTube completely and stuck to Netflix with timers. For our older ones we had to have real conversations about why the algorithm works.
