Most routers (and its particularly easy with Apple Airport) will allow you to block the Internet based on time/MAC address. That might be better than allowing 24/7 access It's also easy if they have a mac to block certain sites (YouTube, pirate bay etc.) and apps (transmission, µtorrent etc.) using parental controls

One of the things I find somewhat distress/depressing about broadband is that when it was introduced it was also called always on, i.e. always connected and therefore unlimited bandwidth. It actually doesnt cost anybody anything more or less if you you 1byte per month or 1Pbyte! The cost is the provision of the DMUX in the exchange and this is getting cheaper by the day.

Christopher my younger son who is now 8 happily navigates to my server and helps himself to (read only) cartoons and comedy downloads I have stored there for him in his own folders. He only has access to those folders on the server. They both love to use Google Earth to explore the world, if there is an event somewhere or we are planning a trip they go exploring and see if they can find their way there.
