Media literacy for children - YouTube channels, as a major source of information, provides insight into the current state of media-influenced society and how digital content and videos on YouTube are a center of information for children and young people. The development of technology, the media manipulation of families and the constant presence of the Internet have conditioned the desire of experts to devise a systematic implementation of media literacy. The ways of media literacy are still being considered, but a research conducted by Jelena Alpeza in 2017 with pre-school children as part of her graduate work, points out the kindergarten as the first institution in which children should be approached with the concept of media. Also, it is important to note that the media should initially educate future educators and teachers, because only with parental upbringing it will be possible to properly prepare children to cope with the media. Due to the constant presence of digital content, children at the age of ten already have a few social networks and this age limit is constantly shifting which causes large number of parents being concerned. Because children and young people mostly use video games and follow different YouTube channels, the potential educational role of video in teaching is questioned. Also, kids on YouTube are attracted to the increasing number of famous YouTubers, people who have become role models because of their closeness in years. Based on previous research such as that of Wilme Westenberg in 2016, we bring insight into the awareness of Neatherlands adolecents which is influenced by YouTubers. Then, a survey conducted in Spain in 2018 found that children and young people most frequently viewed videos on YouTube about sex education and the prevention of violence and drugs. These studies point to YouTube as a major source of information, but because of the variety of videos and hidden messages throughout the collaboration of professionals and parents, children need to be provided with quality media education.
