A Fun Way To Monitor What Your Child Watches On TV

My son loves TV and with winter being as long and as cold as it was, we spent a lot of time indoors over the last several months watching fun kid-friendly programming. Kids shows are so much more advanced than when I was a child. Many of them are educational and I love listening to him count and sing along with his favorite shows. He’s not allowed to use the TV control because I want to be able to monitor what he’s watching and when he’s watching it. This means that both my husband and I have to make sure the remote is well hidden from him so we don’t catch him watching the latest episode of Cops.

Last year we purchased an iPad because we were going on a long trip with our son and we needed a way to keep him in his seat during long car rides, flights, etc. It worked so well! In fact, the iPad now comes with us for other times we need him to stay in his seat like at the doctor’s office. The only problem with the iPad is that he easily gets bored of one game and starts pushing buttons to play other games. He’s not quite three years old yet so he really doesn’t understand what all the buttons are for so there have been times that things have been accidentally deleted or I go in to find 1000 close-up pictures of his adorable face.

Parental controls is one of the many reasons I love Kidoodle.TV. I can set the one app for him and then lock it on that app so he can browse around at cartoons and push as many buttons as he wants without me worrying about him deleting something important from one of my apps. With all the exciting programs in Kidoodle.TV, he’s content to stay right within that app to browse shows, listening to opening songs over and over again and explore all there is to offer.

Within Kidoodle.TV, you can set custom settings for up to five children.

• set the amount of screen time they are allowed to have in a day
• see the shows suggested for each child’s age range and choose what shows you want them to have access to
• if there is a show you would rather they didn’t watch over and over again (hey, we all have at least one that we can’t handle watching one more time!), then you can turn access off to a particular show
• Not sure what to watch Kidoodle.TV on? They have an exciting contest on right now where you could win 1 of 3 iPad Minis! The contest ends April 30, 2014 so hurry over to enter!
