I feel that you need to be very strict from day 1. I have a 3 year old son and a baby that is due in Dec. My kids will know the rules & what will happen if they choose to disobey the rules. They will always know that they can come to us at anytime if they want to talk. And we will welcome it with open arms.
For example: We will not allow our kids to be by them selves to the movies, mall , dating ( as a couple or as a group) or just hanging out until they are 16 years old. Unless my husband, my self or another trusted adult is with them at all times. We will not allow them to have a cell phone unless they can pay for it them selves. The same goes for a car or anything else that is not needed.
As far as drinking, smoking or drugs are concerned. If they are cought. My husband will take them down to L.A. to the morge and watch someone being cut up who died from drugs, drinking or smoking.
