Your child's content concierge
Your child's content concierge
We gently guide your child's social media algorithms toward learning, creativity, and critical thinking. No restrictions. No battles. Just smarter recommendations working for your family.
Social media platforms optimize for engagement, not education. The result? Kids stuck in endless loops of entertainment while their potential goes untapped.
Algorithms maximize time spent, not value gained. Kids consume hours of content designed to keep them watching, not learning.
Blocking apps creates conflict and teaches kids nothing. They need guidance toward better content, not just less screen time.
You can't compete with billion-dollar recommendation engines. Until now, there was no way to make the algorithm work for your family.
Grounded Child works with YouTube's recommendation system, gently steering it toward educational, creative, and thought-provoking content that nurtures well-rounded development.
No new apps. No new passwords. Just connect and let the algorithm shift.
Watch entertainment time decrease while learning, creativity, and critical thinking climb.
They see better recommendations. That's it. No nagging, no conflict, no battles.
Unlike restrictive parental controls that block platforms entirely, Grounded Child works within YouTube (and soon TikTok) to improve what children discover. Platforms benefit from engaged users and higher-value educational advertising. Parents get peace of mind knowing their child's time is purposeful. Everyone wins.
No apps to install. No devices to configure. Just connect and let us do the rest.

No. Grounded Child works entirely in the background. Your child's experience on YouTube or other platforms looks exactly the same—only the recommendations gradually shift toward more educational and developmental content. There's no app, no notification, nothing visible to them.
Traditional parental controls block or restrict content, which often leads to conflict and workarounds. Grounded Child doesn't block anything—it guides. We work with the algorithm to naturally surface better content, preserving your child's autonomy while shaping what they're exposed to.
Yes. We work within platform guidelines and use official APIs where available. Our approach is designed to be beneficial for platforms too—creating healthier, more engaged users who have better experiences.
Grounded Child is designed for children ages 8-16. We're fully COPPA compliant for children under 13, with enhanced privacy protections and age-appropriate content targeting. Our algorithms adapt to different developmental stages.
We use Census Bureau data to determine median income by zip code. Families in higher-income areas pay up to $12.99/month, while families in lower-income areas may qualify for reduced rates or free access. This ensures every child can benefit regardless of their family's financial situation.
We're launching with YouTube, as it's the most widely used video platform among kids and has robust API support. Support for additional platforms including TikTok and Instagram is on our roadmap.
