Fine-grained control
Block content you no longer want available
Approval defines the broad library. Blocking lets the parent remove a specific channel or video when it no longer belongs in that child’s experience.

When blocking is useful
- A previously acceptable channel changes direction.
- A specific video is not appropriate for a particular child.
- A child repeatedly gravitates to content the parent wants to pause.
- The parent is tightening a profile without rebuilding the entire library.
Approval and blocking solve different problems
Approved channels are a positive allow-list: they define which sources may appear. Blocking is a negative exception: it removes something from what would otherwise be available.
Using both gives parents a practical way to start from trusted sources while still correcting individual exceptions.
Review after blocking
After changing content access, open the child view and verify the result. The safest configuration is one you have actually inspected from the child’s perspective.
Content controls can reduce exposure, but parents should still periodically review approved sources and watch history.
Common blocking questions
Should I block or remove channel approval?
If the entire channel is no longer acceptable, removing its approval is the clearer choice. Use more granular blocking when only a specific item needs to be excluded.
Does blocking change another child’s profile?
WonderKid TV is designed around per-child controls, so parents can keep profiles tailored separately.
