YouTube for kids
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 by:Watching elephants jump on trampolines or grover sing his ABC’s is a great way to keep our toddlers busy. But YouTube isn’t intended for kids and the “related video” links are often inappropriate. What if you accidently click on a deadly elephant stampede thinking it’s zoo footage?
That’s why I love kideos.com (and my 2-year-old Bode is hooked too). Kideos is basically a child-friendly filter for YouTube. Videos are classified by age from 0 to 10 and also by category. Personally, I like the old-school Sesame Street clips like The Beetles sing Letter B (“Let it Be”).

Hi Nancy,
I have never heard of that sight until now, I checked it out and I really like it.
My 21-month-old just got into watching Sesame Street and Barney. I normally let him watch it on OnDemand. But before I would try to get something from YouTube, and you are so right. The links would take me to crazy videos, with crazy sound tracks and I was shocked. I am glad that there is something like this around.

I am a first time mother. My son is now 8 months old and he is the joy of my life. I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to find time to spend with him. My husband and I both work at Narconon drug rehab and he goes to a nanny five days a week. We are at work more than we are with him. How do first time mothers get to where they feel like they are spending enough time with their baby? I feel like he is going to know the nanny better than his own mother. Is this how it is supposed to be?
