Admittedly I have no experience myself, but I will pass on something I've read. If you can take the child shooting somewhere, be it a range or whatever, it can really impress upon them how powerful and deadly the object is when used. Even if they are too young to shoot on their own, the loud BANG of the gun and the effects of the bullet on its target can go a long way on children since they tend to pick up things visually at early ages. They will have a fear and respect for the power of it and be more likely to heed your warnings of what to do when they see one. Until they know what it is capable of they won't really be aware of the consequences of breaking your rules.
