    What you want is parental controls...

    Parental Controls - Setup and Use

    That way you can limit time...

    And another way to block sites:

    Adding the sites you want to block to your hosts file.

    Useful only if you know the website URL. I used this for my daughter's computer to block all the "unknown" out there.

    I hope your kids don't know about admin rights. A friend of mine blocked his kids sites and his 8 year old got online and figured out how to get admin rights.
    My friend hadn't set up passwords and accounts very well. They're set up pretty tight now.
