Should parents let their kids "go at it" alone?

Do you teach your faith or let your kids discover their beliefs on their own?

It is hard for them to discover religion on their own these days because it is really become removed from everyday life. Its a tough question to answer

And that is my whole point. How will a child ever learn about faith and God if mom and dad don't tell him?

amen to that. You have to always teach kids from right and wrong early on, and it does help if Jesus is 100% there.

Yes indeed. How else can your children "see" God if you don't model it for them. I can't understand people who say "Well, I want my child to make their own choice". Why don't you just let the little one blunder about in the forest at night on his own? Your throwing him to the bears anyway! Who knows what sort of crazy cult he'll find himself in without your guidance.

They should be allowed to make up their own minds; I don't believe in parents brainwashing their children into their religions. I think it's wrong. Kids should be allowed to discover for themselve and make their own decisions.

Parents have too much authority and power and it influences the children. There's a distinct lack of self-discovery.

The parents should be the mirror for their children.
It is because what the little one sees, they will follow. If the parents tell nothing about religion to their children, how will they know?

Anyway, they can decide when they are old enough to manage theirselves.

Parents plays an important role in molding up their childrens belief to avoid confusions. Teachings should starts even the child is still in the mothers womb until such time that the baby will born.

If parents mold their child perfectly 100% WORLD'S PEACE...

What if parents did not make it? What will be that child to be?
