I see forcing your opinion on your kids as being a wrong way of going about raising your kids. If your opinion of life is correct, and you give your kids the choice, and you show them why it is correct, then they should have no other option but to choose what is right for them, no matter how long it takes.
Train them up by showing them many sides of an argument. Explain to them why you hold the views and beliefs that you do. Live an honest life in front of them.
They may not choose to be or think as you do, but it will be their free choice, which is what God would want.
Right?
