I did implement one measure for a while that worked well enough until
they got more curious.
I determined one by one all of the binaries they needed regular access
to. I then created /usr/kidbin and symlinked to each of them. I then
put *only* /usr/kidbin in their path.
After a while, they got smarter and figured out if you type:
/usr/<tab>
all sorts of "goodies" appear! All you have to do is choose one, and
"interesting things" happen. :)
