47. A thought...
There is software out there, and I don't know enough about it to speak accurately as to effectiveness or pricing, that will allow you to limit computer usage to certain times of the day or for a predetermined amount of time each day. Most are designed for non-technical users.

If you are a little more technical minded, you can set up a user account on the computer and limit the usage via your router or server - much like we do at the library. We have certain sites that are blacklisted when a patron logs into the server...granted a fairly tech savvy teen could probably figure out how to set up a proxy and bypass etc., but a little reading can determine how to avoid that particular work around.
