It's funny everyone distinguishing between children and teens and implying you do it more in the teen years.
From my experience kids with some awareness will get punched in the face with how insidious capitalism can and will be. So teaching them is in preparation for that and yes that needs to happen before teens.
Failure here is just meaning they still got punched in the face and it hurt.
I'm not sure it's avoidable honestly. But I do think we can do more to prepare them.
