Parents choose whether to share their own location
Family location sharing does not need to mean that every adult is permanently visible. Guardian keeps parent location sharing optional, allowing adults to decide whether sharing their own location is useful for the family's routine while child-device safety features remain focused on the connected child profile.
That choice matters for privacy and healthy boundaries. Families should discuss who can see location information, why it is being shared and when it is useful. Guardian keeps access within the private family rather than creating public profiles or a social-location feed.
