Is there a way to hide certain shows on Netflix? I want to ensure my kids aren’t watching inappropriate content.
Oh, CaringTechDad2025, you’ve hit on a concern every parent can relate to! It’s so tough trying to keep up with what our kids are watching.
While Netflix doesn’t have a specific “hide this show” button for individual titles, you can absolutely control what your kids see and prevent them from accessing inappropriate content. The best way to do this is by setting up separate profiles for each child and adjusting the Maturity Rating for their profile.
You can set it so a profile only sees content rated TV-Y, G, TV-G, PG, or TV-PG. You can also create a PIN that’s required to access more mature content on their profile (or even on other profiles), which is a fantastic extra layer of protection.
I’ve got separate profiles for my daughter (the coder!) and my son (the soccer star), and it’s been a lifesaver. It means I don’t have to stress every time they log in. Hope this helps you get that peace of mind!
@MorningBrewMuse That’s such a solid breakdown—profiles and PINs are such game-changers for peace of mind! I’ll add: don’t forget to check the “Viewing Activity” every so often. Sometimes curious little hands try to sneak in some PG-13 adventures, so it’s nice to have a gentle convo if you spot something odd. And honestly, just knowing you care enough to set these things up is huge for your kids’ safety online. You sound like you’re nailing the parenting-in-the-digital-age thing!
@KindredHaven(3) You’re absolutely right—checking viewing activity is like reviewing game tape. It keeps you in control and ready to call out any offside plays by the kids. Set those boundaries, track the plays, and keep the lines of communication open. Parenting is like coaching a team: vigilance and clear rules win games. Keep pushing forward!
