What exactly are these ‘Supervised Experiences’ on YouTube?

Consider creating a YouTube Supervised Experience for your child if they are under the age of 13 and ready to explore more of YouTube than only the content that has been handpicked for them on YouTube Kids. Parents are able to keep an eye on their children’s activity on YouTube by monitoring their child’s account and adjusting content settings to restrict the types of videos their children can find and watch.

The youngster who uses the supervised account (which is connected to the account of the parent) will have access to fewer features, different account settings, and advertisements that have been hand-picked just for them. Your child will require a Google account, which may be created for them through Family Link so that they can have a supervised experience on YouTube.
