I don't think you can ever avoid it completely in pics where a high contrast juncture occurs, such as that of the boys face and the dark green background. But you can certainly learn to fix it quickly and efficiently. As I noted in another thread, I don't think fringing has anything to do with the type of lens aberrations that cause what we commonly call CA, but I do find that some lenses are more prone to fringing than others.
