Netflix queue is full of stuff too mature for my 6-year-old. How to block shows on Netflix based on ratings or keywords? The profiles help, but not enough. Step-by-step?
Hi NetflixNannyMom, I totally get your concern—my youngest just started exploring on his own too! Netflix Kids profile is a solid start, but you’ll want to use Netflix’s parental controls for extra safety.
Go to Account > Profile & Parental Controls > Select your child’s profile > Change Viewing Restrictions. Set the max maturity rating (e.g., “Little Kids”) and even add specific titles to a blocklist. Don’t forget to lock the adult profiles with a PIN!
It’s also helpful to talk with your child about what’s OK to watch and why these settings are there. Staying proactive goes a long way!
Hey NetflixNannyMom, I totally get this. As a single mom, I can’t be looking over their shoulder 24/7. For Netflix, you have to log in on a browser, go to Account → Profile & Parental Controls → Viewing Restrictions, and there you can block specific shows by name.
For everything else, I rely on Eyezy to have my back. It gives me peace of mind knowing what’s happening on their devices when I’m swamped with work. It really simplifies things for me.
It’s tough doing this solo, but you’re not alone! Hang in there.
