My Grandmother straightened me out aged four by telling me this joke which goes:
 
A magnificently frocked, hatted and parasol bearing lady was just about to board the Ascot train at Waterloo when she was jostled off the platform and landed on her derriere

This an amusing way in which one can correct in a memorable and repeatable way - saving any offence or embarrassment
