Most kids, my own kids included, spend time consuming YouTube. It's just how kids are today. They are tech savvy and YouTube is their version of regular TV. So, it's just about time that YouTube is finally releasing a kid-friendly version of their popular mobile app.
The kid friendly version will have original content of popular shows like "Sesame Street" as well as content from existing kid-friendly YouTube channels. This is great news for parents like myself who are always worried that their kids might stumble upon content on YouTube that is not kid-friendly.
The app will also have some security features, including a timer to limit the amount of time kids spend on the app. *great idea*
