It may seem difficult at first! But everything is difficult at first.

Can you be a bit more explicit?
Is it computer savvy children that you want to block? (makes it difficult because they can Google solutions)
Also do you want a full time block (24/7) or a block after a certain time in the evening?

You can always tell a Yorkshireman,
But you cannot tell him much.

If it's only temp, then you could try blocking by using your Hosts files:
http://www.labnol.org/software/browsers ... uter/1602/
Scroll down to the instructions.
Where it says 127.0.0.1
put the url of the site (you only need the www.***.com part of the address) after the 127.0.0.1
You can also use another line and put the name of the site (eg, facebook) after the numbers.
