Does your child watch Netflix? Have you set up parental controls?
We highly recommend that you monitor and restrict what your child can view on Netflix and other streaming services, like Disney+ and Prime Video. This can prevent your children from seeing images and content that is inappropriate for their age group.
On Netflix you have the option to set up to five profiles with one subscription, each controlled by the master account. You can dedicate one of these as the ‘kids’ profile, which will default the age rating of the content to PG. You can also prevent specific films and shows from appearing on a child’s profile using the title restrictions tool.
Did you know, you can also reduce the amount of time your child is watching Netflix by turning off the autoplay function. This will prevent the next episode from automatically playing. You can access this through the ‘Account’ section.
