Not quite sure. But perhaps treating them as persons and not as pests may be a start. I think the primary problem humanity has is that adults kinda forget that we learned our way as much by experiencing things first hand as being lectured on what was good and what was bad. Forbidden fruit and all that. BTW, i seem to recall reading that giving kids responsibilities early results in them grouping up to behave responsible. The example used was a kid watching the family store while the parent was out running and errand or some such.
