Another thing you may want to consider is that most Providers offer "Parential Control" software for just the case you mention. You may want to check with your provider and see if they offer this service.

try a nanny program or make them "kids" a username and remove the internet explorer icons and enable IE content manager to restrict all websites (uses password)
