Seems to me like you just make an effort not to BS them with easterbunny/santaclaus/ufo crap from the beginning. Emphasize logic, reason, hard work, fair play, etc. from day one and then when they reach 14 or 15 drop Fountainhead on them.

Then again, I'm a firm believer that if you provide a classical education for your children, you won't need to give them Rand's material. The Founding Fathers, for example, didn't need "Capitalism: Unknown Ideal" to build a pro-individual liberty/property system. It was just inherent in the education, which stressed science and reason over hokey pokey.
