The best advice is no blocking, open and frank conversation, showing interest for what they are watching, and being available when they see something they don’t understand.

Every child is different, some will be more addicted to the internet but in different levels and in different ways. And kids are smart, and will find ways to get what they want outside your monitoring.

To guide (not force) them to seek interesting YouTube channels, can be very rewarding, and even healthy. Develop their curiosity and be ready to explain.

In the extreme of blocking and over protection may have the opposite results and resentment.

All this is easier said than done.

Content and time limit are distinct issues. There is much to say about content but time limit is simple:

* there should be one

* it will make no sense to a child as something they enjoy and is available in unlimited quantity, will be taken away for no reason they understand

* It will come down to an argument from authority and one needs to be strong, emotionally intelligent and sensitive to make that work.
