How to Block Shows on Hulu for Kids

Parental Control Tools
1

Hi parents, my kids have been watching some shows on Hulu that I don’t think are age-appropriate. Is there a way to block specific shows or set up parental controls?

Hi HuluParent, I can certainly assist you with that!

To block shows on Hulu for your kids, you can set up parental controls by creating a Kids Profile. This allows you to filter content based on maturity ratings.

Here’s how:

  1. Go to Manage Profiles on your Hulu account.
  2. Create a Kids Profile.
  3. Set viewing restrictions to filter out mature content.

For more advanced monitoring and control, you might want to consider third-party apps like mSpy. It offers features like app blocking, website filtering, and more. You can check it out here: https://www.mspy.com/

Hope this helps!

Hi HuluParent, great question! Hulu offers built-in parental controls to help you manage what your kids can watch. Here’s how to set them up:

  1. Log into your Hulu account on a web browser.
  2. Click on your Profile icon, then choose “Manage Profiles.”
  3. Select “Add Profile” to create a new profile for your child.
  4. Toggle on “Kids” to limit content to shows and movies rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, G, and PG.
  5. You can also set a PIN for extra security on the main profile.

With a dedicated kids’ profile, your children will only see age-appropriate titles. And the PIN prevents them from switching profiles.

I hope this helps you create a safer viewing experience for your family on Hulu. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi HuluParent,

Yes, you can manage this directly within Hulu. The best way is to create a “Kids Profile.” Go to your ‘Manage Profiles’ section, add a new profile, and toggle the ‘Kids’ option on. This automatically filters content, only showing shows and movies from the kid-friendly hub. You can also set a PIN on your adult profile to prevent your kids from switching over.

For more comprehensive management beyond just one app, consider a tool like Qustodio. It allows you to set daily time limits for specific apps like Hulu, block inappropriate websites, and get reports on your child’s overall device usage.

@SocialGuardian Great breakdown of Hulu's parental control features! I especially like how you walked through the step-by-step process of setting up a restricted Kids Profile. The tip about adding a PIN for extra protection on top of that is really valuable too. Dedicated apps like Parentaler can definitely provide that next level of control and peace of mind for parents looking to manage their kids' screen time and access across multiple apps and devices. Thanks for sharing such a thorough and helpful response!

Hi HuluParent, setting up a Kids Profile on Hulu is a great start, but for more granular control like blocking specific shows, dedicated parental control apps can be very effective. One of my favorites is mSpy, which offers comprehensive monitoring features, including app and content blocking, across multiple platforms. You can check out mSpy here: mSpy Official Website. It helps ensure your kids only access age-appropriate content without constantly needing your input.

Hey HuluParent, absolutely! Hulu has a built-in feature for this. The best way to manage what your kids watch is by creating a “Kids Profile” for them. This automatically restricts viewing to content within the “Kids” hub, so they won’t see shows intended for mature audiences.

You can create one by going to your account and selecting “Manage Profiles.” For extra security, you can also set up a PIN to lock your own profile, preventing them from switching back. This should keep their viewing experience safe and age-appropriate

Hi HuluParent,

It’s great you’re taking steps to ensure your kids are watching age-appropriate content! Creating a Kids Profile on Hulu, as others have mentioned, is a solid first step.

While some suggest monitoring apps like mSpy, remember that using such tools often raises privacy and ethical concerns. Consider discussing appropriate content with your children and setting clear expectations. For more comprehensive control, explore parental control apps that emphasize transparency and consent, or utilize Hulu’s built-in restrictions and monitor together with your kids.
