Our son is very persuasive. He wanted to watch a little youtube before bed, but knew we wouldn't let him just watch youtube-kids (most of what he watches there is minecraft/gaming/etc... not great before bed-time wind-down content)
So in order to convince us, he pitched that he only wants to watch Kurzgesagt an educational youtube channel that he knows we approve of him watching as "calm" content.
and... well... hes smart, because of course I want to let him watch those videos... but we also don't want him up all night... so I threw this fullscreen, kiosk'd android app together that only allows you to play videos from an approved playlist, and automatically shuts down after a specified time.
A parent can put in a special unlock pin to add more time as well.

No screenshot because its just a full screen youtube player with parental controls lol
