"Over the last year, we've worked with parents and experts across the globe in areas related to child safety, child development, and digital literacy to develop a solution for parents of pre-teens and teens," James Beser, Director of Product Management, Kids and Family, YouTube, wrote in a blog post.

The blogpost further added that the beta version containing these new features will be made available in the coming few months.

The platform will be taking feedback from families with kids under the age of consent (age differs in countries worldwide).

Parents will be able to provide access to YouTube to their kids via a supervised Google account. So far, there is no word regarding a stable update with these new features.

With the coming of the new feature, parents from now on won’t just have control over what kind of content their kids watch.
