Methods and apparatus which allow parents to control the access of their children to features of a portable electronic device are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method for controlling the use of features associated with a portable electronic device includes setting at least one constraint associated with access to a feature of the portable electronic device and processing a user request to access the feature. The method can also include determining whether the constraint indicates that the feature is currently accessible to the user, and permitting access to the feature when the indication is that the feature is currently accessible to the user. Finally, access to the feature can be denied if the indication is that the feature is not currently accessible to the user.
