Hi parents, could you share the type of YouTube channels you allow your kids (ages 0-7) to watch? How do you ensure they watch 'safe', high quality content and educational content?

Hi my baby is only 9mo and I tried to avoid letting her watch YouTube or tv as much as possible. But easier said than done especially when there is no one to help you take care of them while you want to do some chores. So far I only let my gal watch Babies Can Read DVD . I understand these may not be effective in teaching them how to read as claimed but if I am going to let her watch something I might as well control what I let her watch and something more educational rather than plain cartoon. Recently my gal is on a diaper change and change clothes strike , she cries and cries and flips. I have resorted to letting her watch Hi Five song compilation as the tunes are catchy and make the mood happier for both her and me. That's all I am going to let her watch for now as long as I can. Barneys and Dora are also things I may let her watch in future but for the time being I am trying not to let her get hooked to YouTube or watching things from phone because phone is very mobile and follows us wherever we go. I am concerned she will be addicted to it. But DVD I fixed the timings for her to watch only twice a day when I need to eat my meals.
