That's easy. What about when they get older?
Talk to them honestly without pandering about how to be discerning about what they watch?
Find things to watch with them that are genuinely enjoyable for you both?
Make sure you always interact with them in an open, accepting, genuinely-involved way so that they tell you what they've been watching and respect your opinions on those things?
Then you have to set up parenting filters. Firewalls, content filters, read logs, etc.
I wish there was a way to filter youtube. I can block it completely on my firewall, but how do I let my kids watch their piano lesson without getting sucked into something they shouldn't see?
You either watch it with them, download it for them to play offline (try ClipGrab, its free) or they don't watch it.
When they are older I guess you can beg big brother and nanny state to hold their hand.
