Abstract
A computer-implemented method for using guardian proximity to control computing activities of children. The method may include determining that a child is attempting to access a computing system and determining whether a guardian of the child is in proximity of the computing system. The method may also include limiting the child's access to one or more resources of the computing system if the guardian of the child is not in proximity of the computing system and permitting the child to access the one or more resources of the computing system if the guardian of the child is in proximity of the computing system.
