I wish I'd known about that a few years ago!
I've also heard of a keystroke recorder but it wasn't around when I needed it, I don't think.
But children will still have to be trusted some day.
The hard work is letting them have enough knowledge of what they shouldn't be wrapped up in until they are able to censor for themselves. And think: "Mum'll kill me if she knows I clicked on that!"
And realise "This is not a good idea!".
And take the rap for downloading every piece of devious rubbish that appealed to them.
I'm making my youngest and his friends use a 'guest' account at the moment. It's a kind of half-way house.
Also bear in mind that you're not the only parent with a PC ...
Your kid will be in other people's houses.
Am I being too gloomy? Too cautious?
