Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate management of parental control settings at one or more devices based upon a detection of a control device. A central device (115) may be configured with one or more device identifiers of one or more devices that are designated as control devices. In response to a determination by the central device (115) that no control device is connected to the central device (115), the central device (115) may enable one or more parental control settings at the central device (115) and/or one or more client devices (105). When the central device (115) determines that a control device is connected to the central device (115), the central device (115) may disable one or more parental control settings at the central device (115) and/or one or more client devices (105).
