“WYKY: Watch Your Kids’ Videos” helps parents better control the Youtube videos watched by their children from 3 to 10.
As parents, we created from Youtube playlists a selection of 500+ child-developing channels that we would like our children to watch: essentially selecting cartoons and educational videos while excluding videos from influencers, gamers and home-made shows...
Those safe and child-friendly channels can be accessed via a set of parental-control features:
- CHANNEL MANAGEMENT
- WATCH HISTORY
- TIME CONTROL
- EDUCATIONAL REWARDS
---------------------------
CHANNEL MANAGEMENT:
Based on your child’s age, WYKY will suggest channels on which you have full parental control:
- LIKED channels will be saved in home screen
- DISLIKED (by child) channels will he hidden
- BLACKLISTED channels (by parents) won’t be playable. Parent can blacklist channels from all screens, including from watch history.
As channels get managed, new channels get SUGGESTED.
From the channel manager, you can search for a channel to watch and like. If the searched channel is not already in our selection, you can select a new Youtube playlist to turn into a channel that would only be accessible to you.
WATCH HISTORY:
Parents can use watch history to review, for each day, the cumulated watch time and number of videos watched by the child. Parents can also identify channels to BLACKLIST (so child can’t watch anymore).
Child can also use watch history to re-watch a video.
TIME CONTROL:
Parents can define a daily limit beyond which player will be blocked.
When limit is reached, parent can easily add extra time if needed.
EDUCATIONAL REWARDS:
Parents can define the % of watch time on channels we flagged as EDUCATIONAL.
Child learns to manage his rewards, choosing educational channels frequently enough to avoid a situation where he/she gets restricted to educational videos...
