I have a young child who is playing on the internet and deleting the history and I want to go in and see what he has been doing

probably u wont be able to retrieve the history since the chances for successfully recovering this data is so low, that it is effectively zero.
its not that its impossible but its extremely difficult to do so and u got to be really good on the comp. to get it.
the "History" directory is marked "invisible" by default, so it's likely that you won't find it by default.
The easiest way is to simply recover the contents of that directory, including all subdirectories, from a recent backup. If you've been making regular backups of your full system, as recommended, then you can simply use your backup utility to restore only those directories, after which you should be able to restart IE and have the old history restored.
but if u ask me personally i'd suggest you to go in for programs that block adult sites for kids as spyware nanny etc., You Can Also Control THE SITES in IE itself by restricting sites .
to do this go to "TOOLS" in the Menu bar of IE and then Click on "INTERNET OPTIONS" click "SECURITY " tab, then
"RESTRICTED SITES"

the history cannot be recovered but u can still get to see the websites u visited. Click on Tools > Internet Options > Settings > View Files.

You will have to install a keylogger program.
