You can use Google family link to force his account into parental control and force Youtube into safe mode (if he's logged in). You can also force this using DNS to prevent him from accessing non family friendly content.

DNS will only let me block specific domains, right? So I can't do blocking of specific channels that way (though I do use a nice big blocklist for adult content [0])

Google is a bit of a non-starter for me unfortunately. Their tools for protecting kids' eyes from content are probably great, but then their just building a catalog of my kids' viewing habits from a really young age... which I find off-putting. Maybe if that was the only way to block I'd go down that road, but there are others.
