Netflix Kids is undoubtedly an attractive video streaming platform for children. It provides vast libraries ​full of entertainment with many TV shows, movies, and anime content. At the same time, it also has tons of mature and adult content, not appropriate for kids watching. 

Fortunately, Netflix has impressive customer-centric features like parental controls, which allow you to restrict adult content, so kids can only watch videos suitable for their age. Learn more about how to configure these parental controls with the steps below! 

How to Set Up Parental Controls

You can set up parental controls using the Netflix app. However, if you want to take full control over the mature content to keep your children safe, use a web browser for extended options.


Method # 1 – Creating a New Kids Profile

If you also have kids at home, then you must use this feature. You can create a new user profile dedicated to kids to restrict the adult content by enabling a password on the mature content. 

  1. Open Netflix and “log in” to your Netflix account.
  2. Click on “Manage Profiles” at the top right corner under the profile icon.
  3. Hit on “Add Profile,” enter your kid’s name, and check the box next to Kid. Press “Continue.”
  4. Click the kids’ profile icon you just created and move to “Maturity Settings” press Edit.
  5. Type your Netflix account password to complete the verification process.
  6. Select the age rating on the viewing restriction page for created kids to profile TV-Y (6 and under); TV-Y7 (7 and younger); TV-G/G (general audience); TV-PG/PG (parental guidance)

Additionally, you can activate the Netflix Kids Experience option, if you think that any inappropriate title can come in front of their screen. 

In such a case, simply move the movie/TV show to the “Under Title Restrictions,”. You can enter the names of movies/shows you don’t want your kid to watch and “Hit” on the “Save” button.
