The purpose of this research is to know the influence of YouTube social media on the development of early childhood intelligence at the age of 0-8 years. Researchers can see the negative impacts, positive effects, and the role of parents in the use of YouTube videos as a parent companion tool and providing stimulus to the child's development. The research design used is descriptive qualitative by conducting a literature study through triangulation of data sources. This data collection is produced from articles and journals related to the influence of social media on the development of early childhood intelligence. These results indicate that the provision of stimulation in the form of videos on YouTube for young children can increase intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and social intelligence in children. To that end, YouTube's social media can be stated as a form of providing stimulus in optimizing the development of intelligence in early childhood appropriately.
