Do your best to explain why you\u2019re instituting these ground rules as you\u2019re setting them so that your child knows you have their wellbeing in mind.\n\nFor example, you may have a rule that they need to check in via text every 1-3 hours when they\u2019re not home, or that they have to call you whenever they go somewhere new with their partner. You might set a hard 9 p.m. curfew, or require their partner to come in and say hello before the two of them go out together.\nSet rewards for your child! Tell them that if they\u2019re open with you, don\u2019t hide anything, and don\u2019t complain about questions you have that you\u2019ll take them on a trip they want to go on, or get them that new Xbox for Christmas.\nLet them know what will happen if they violate any ground rules you set.
