   What works for me is oy, go brush your teeth wash your face and get into bed.

   Our children 15 and 13 are supervised anyway, so they know their limits.

   Problem with software is, children are smarter than adults give them credit for.
   So they will find out from friends in school and the net how to bypass such wares.

   My children's school banned instant messaging, within 2 days of the ban a lot had signed up to web messaging and well the tech staff didn't have a clue.

   You should look into Windows SteadyState. You can restrict the access your child has and I know you can make a computer shutdown after X amount of minutes. However I can't remember if you can make the computer shutdown at X time of day but I bet you can.
