    Additional Tips for Safe Streaming on Peacock

    You know, setting up parental controls helps a lot in protecting kids from inappropriate content, but before anything you need to explain to them why you’re restricting them. If they understand not watching age-inappropriate shows is for their own good, they’d comply more easily, and would rather not go after ways to watch these shows. So, it’s crucial to have open communication with your child about their content choices and expectations.

    It’s also important to regularly monitor their viewing habits and discuss your concerns to help keep them safe online. You can also try third-party parental control apps like Safes to learn about your child’s viewing habits and screen time. Since Peacock offers no screen time limit feature, a third-party app like Safes can be handy.
