Problems with parent controls and google chrome on Mac

The Mac's parent controls do not seem to work for google chrome, which we need for online schooling. Some of the google functions don't work in safari, so I can't restrict access to the app. I couldn't find any parent control settings on chrome. I see that there is a Family Link app - but am not confident that I can use that with a school set-up google account. Also - is there way to allow some youtube sites, such as teacher presentations, and then block non-ed sites on youtube? We are also having a problem with that.

We'd appreciate any and all ideas.

Thanks
