With an Asus router there is a section for preventing certain types of sites being accessed which cannot be overridden other than by changing the router settings. It's under AiProtection I think.
I would agree with licquorice that it is virtually impossible to stop a computer literate child overcoming parental controls. Just do an Internet search and you will find that there are hundreds if not thousands of post about how overcome them. It is easier to push water uphill.
Is it not the case that any router that allows for parental controls or blocking of certain sites can usually be overridden by changing the router settings. ie by gaining access to the router with the password or by doing a factory reset.
In either case the parent may be unaware that this has been done without checking on a daily basis or while trying to access the router because any new password that had been set has now been over ridden and restored to the factory password.
