@kevine123 , in essence, you would do this:

1. Use the Library Node Editor addon, to create a new "Parent Node" in the video library
2. When presented with start with defaults, choose Movies.  This will give you all of the movie nodes (genres, titles, directors, actors, years, countries, etc.)
3. Add a rule to that node where Path "contains" the name of your Kid's movies subfolder.
4. For random movies, you can add a node under the parent node that you created, specifying that content is movies and that order is random.

Now, you can add your parent node as a main menu item (you will find it under video library, it will appear as a folder, just like movies, tv shows, etc.).  You can add any of the nodes that were created for you (genres, years, tags, sets, etc.) as submenu items (you will find them under video library, <the name of your new parent node>, Genres, for example).  Those nodes will be already filtered by only your kids movies.  

You can add any of those nodes as shelves as well.

The only node under the new parent node that does not work well for me (I think it's a limitation of the library node editor addon) is RecentlyAdded.  You can, using the same addon, go into it, delete the path rule that says recently added movies, and specify that content is movies, and that order is date added, descending.  That will work.

Hope all of this was helpful,
