You have to accept that kids will spend a lot of time doing stupid shit. That&#x27;s the part of learning experience. But at some point there may come a moment when a kid starts to wonder how to <i>make</i> stupid shit like what they saw, and there is the opportunity for them to learn creative&#x2F;technical stuff. But they won&#x27;t get that chance with hard, strict limits - then there&#x27;s only time to <i>watch</i>.<p>BTW. I personally wouldn&#x27;t discount even the educational value of stupid YouTube videos. Kids pull a lot more out of media than adults do. We see just a funny clip, but for a kid it&#x27;s a way to learn a new language, learn new phrases of the native language, learn some culture, etc.
