The best way I can think of is to concentrate on the goal rather than the shortfall. Try not to wag a finger and say "Don't do that." Give some incentive for the behavior to change for the better, and say "Do that." The details will be completely different for each situation, of course, and some people are by nature better at it than others, but we need to keep in mind what we're trying to promote.
