I've found YouTube to be a benefit. My daughter is four and we've been watching a few videos together on an almost daily basis since she's been about two. She never watches videos alone; we're always together. We end up watching educational videos, like how things are made and street science. It's been a great resource as she understands at a very basic level the little explosions inside of pistons that turn an engine because she's seen it on YouTube.

Most of the videos we watch are in German. I'm wanting to learn German and she is, too. So I'm getting educated along with her (and German children's videos talk more slowly and use simpler vocabulary so it's great for learning).
