Some parents might try more extreme activities like reading the chapter of a book! You can finish a coffee while it's still hot, unstack a dishwasher or eat a meal with two hands. I can't begrudge any parent who uses this tactic during their long, sleep-deprived day. It works because there's a huge demand for content. Supply and demandĪn entire industry has grown within YouTube aimed at trying to capture views in the multimillions as parents around the world use a tablet to keep their kids entertained. The set-up of the modern living room may have changed with more devices replacing the traditional one television in the room, but the rules of watching things with your kids is more important than ever.
I could no longer walk away for a second while my son is on YouTube. Reading James' article was affirming because it proved I wasn't crazy in thinking YouTube was rotten. YouTube has a dark underbelly when it comes to kid's content, as highlighted by an article on Medium written by writer and artist, James Birdle: Something is Wrong on the Internet. He'd started watching nursery rhyme videos on YouTube, but somehow, it set him on a path to discovering creepy videos starring off-brand Spider-Men, and to my shock, thousands of these videos exist. No, it's not a scene from a Marvel Comics blockbuster, this is what I saw when looking over to see what my three-year-old son was watching on a tablet. Spider-Man is sitting in an empty bathtub, squeezing large water balloons until they explode in slow motion.
