Strong & Crude LanguageA little

The phrase 'super poopy Scoopy poopy Scoopy' contains mild bathroom/potty humor typical of young children's content. While crude in a very minor sense, it does not constitute strong profanity.

Playful & Fantasy ViolenceNot present

The game involves a toy dog that 'wakes up' and reacts when bones are disturbed — this is entirely consequence-free, stylized play with no meaningful violence component worth flagging.

What Parents Need to Know

This video features Ryan and his family (including young siblings Emma and Kate, and their parents) playing an oversized version of the classic 'Don't Wake the Dog' board game. There is nothing harmful here — no bad language, no advertising, no scary content, and no negative behavior modeling. In fact, the video actively models positive values: family members encourage one another, laugh off mistakes, and even team up together at the end. Young children will enjoy the suspense of the game and the playful reactions when the toy dog 'wakes up.' It may inspire kids to want to play the game themselves, which is a great hands-on activity. The only minor note is that the audio is occasionally chaotic with overlapping voices, which is typical of this style of family YouTube content.
