parental control
Content access limits
Parental control refers to features that let parents restrict what their children can access—on devices, apps, streaming services, or the internet generally.
These controls filter content, limit screen time, or block certain websites and programs: I set up parental controls on the TV so the kids can't watch R-rated movies.
The term also appears as an adjective: parental control settings, parental control software.
