How To Make Netflix a lot Safer for your Kids
Now that I have given my daughter access to Netflix on her gadget, I was happy to know that there are more than one way to check her activities and access to our Netflix account. The worst thing that could happen is for her to sneak a peek on my listings! DId you know that you can add a passcode to your account to keep them from watching mature content?
Go to your ACCOUNT > PROFILE & PARENTAL CONTROLS >
CHOOSE THE ACCOUNT YOU WANT TO PUT A PROFILE LOCK ON >
CLICK CHANGE ON PROFILE LOCK >
CONFIRM YOUR PASSWORD AND CLICK CONTINUE >
INPUT 4-DIGIT PIN
Now, no one can get into your account even if they want to.
Another thing that Netflix rolled out it their bi-weekly kids recap emails so I have ideas on the content they like to watch. Since I freely let them watch using their Netflix Kid's account that doesn't mean I don't have to monitor what they consume. I also get to know their preferences, what they are like and and updates on their favorite shows. These are the basic features of bi-weekly recap emails!
Recommendations based on your child’s favorite shows and movies;
Printable coloring sheets and activities inspired by your kid’s favorite characters;
Top themes or topics charts that show the types of programs your child enjoys most (i.e. science, friendship); and
Tips for how to use our Kids features on Netflix.
It's not only us who enjoy the TOP 10 ROWS! This has been extra helpful for me on my own account but I like that Kids like this, too! TOP 10 contains usually the latest and most popular movies, series, and shows so my kids don't have to spend all day scanning looking for something to watch.
Netflix also have custome ratings, profiles locks, and play something on Kids Profile. There's just so much I can do with my Netflix account. Another thing that I like is how I can control the maturity ratings and how I can also type in titles I want to limit my daughter from seeing.
Now that our kids are typically smarter than us when it comes to techonology (Gosh! I can't believe I'm saying this!), I have to amp up my game and be a lot smarter and learn ways I can control what she consumes. Thankfully, Netflix has made it easier for us!
I'm a very happy momma because of Netflix and I'm glad I can be a mindful mom as well because of the continous improvements they make. Now I can binge-watch in peace!
