Heck, my boys were also characters. They were also civil little beings. When they needed to run around and act goofy, as kids like to do, we went to places like the park. But even there they understood that in order to live around other people, you didn't do certain things, like hit, bite, push, take things away, etc.
You would probably be amazed at what an early age children can start learning to be socially acceptable, enjoyable little people.

It's funny because I have hit the gold mine for all the greatest parents in the world. It's right here on FR. In r-life I have yet to meet parents that have not had their great kids act up at an inappropriate time. They're obviously all bad parents because one time they're kids misbehaved while they were in a restaurant.
Children who are taught to behave at an early age do not get banned from internet forums later on in life.
