[QUOTE="jal, post: 498939, member: 3477"] Log in as the administrator and set the time frame that she can use the computer. It will log her off if the clock reaches the time she is not allowed on. My difficult child 9, loves the computer and although we have a computer tower in the play room we have never had problems with him being on when he is not supposed to (he goes to bed @ 8:30.) I set his hours. He can't access it from 8pm at night until 5pm during the school week meaning nothing after 8 at night and then he has access when we get home from school/work/Y afterschool program at 5pm under his log in. On weekends he has access from 8am until 9pm (9pm being bedtime on the weekends). Only once has he ever tried to access it after his time was done and asked my why he couldn't. I was afraid he might wake sometime at night while we were asleep and just go on unattended, thankfully he never has tried. Once he is asleep, he is done, but its a great piece of mind knowing I can time block him. For us it may last a little while longer as he is pretty computer savvy. By setting the time frame for usage you don't have to wait up to take it:) [/QUOTE]
