My daughter is 14. We just got high-speed cable before Xmas. In addition, I installed a wireless network thruout the house, which included her bedroom computer. She quickly discovered IM. I quickly discovered that removing the wireless adapter from her computer is a sure-fire way to get her attention. I realize that not everyone can use this solution, but it is something that worked for me. I don't like being a parent. I hate acting like one. I feel guilty anytime I have to punish my daughter.
