I'm Daniel Albertine. My father has always had many firearms in the house as I have grown up. and he trained me proper gun safety when I was very young. I think that this worked because even to this day I would never touch a firearm without permission. What my father did was when he cleaned his firearms he would gather me and my brothers and sister, and review safety rule with us. Asking questions like "What do you do if you see a firearm on the ground in a public area?" and we would all answer "Go find you or a police officer and tell them that there is a gun lying on the ground." And he would let us look at the firearms, reminding to look to see that the safety is on that there isn't a mag in it, and that there is not a round in the chamber. He also taught us not to do it with just our eyes but to feel that there is no mag and there isn't a round in the chamber. He also stressed that we should check the firearm even if the person handing the firearm to us had just checked it. He then would let us wipe the firearm down and he would but them away. I hope this helps anyone who has children and firearms in their household.
