adult supervision
Parental presence required
Adult supervision is oversight by a grown-up, typically required when children engage in potentially dangerous activities: Children under 12 must have adult supervision in the pool area.
The phrase appears on warning labels, permission slips, and facility rules.
Used humorously about adults behaving recklessly: This party needs adult supervision.
