Additional Tips for Safe Streaming on Peacock

You know, setting up parental controls helps a lot in protecting kids from inappropriate content, but before anything you need to explain to them why you’re restricting them. If they understand not watching age-inappropriate shows is for their own good, they’d comply more easily, and would rather not go after ways to watch these shows.
