Should thou let your child choose 2 believe or teach them young?
Teach them to Love. Start this at the very beginning.
Teach them faith -- fearless, unshakeable confidence.
Teach them humility -- complete selflessness, giving to others and thinking not of themselves.
Teach them responsibility -- perfect, 100% responsibility for everything that happens to them. With this, they can never blame (and blame is incompatible with love, faith and humility).
Teach them gratitude. If they are grateful, all karmic debts are paid and they move even closer to God.
By these, your children will be following Christ.
We should teaching children about many different things including religion, our own and others. Teach them to read and what your faith is about so that they have an understanding of it. But, the decision should ultimately be their own. This teaches them to think for themselves, grow, become aware, and knowledge is power.
We need to teach our Children from the day they are born Truth and Love. Truth sets us free. And without Love we are nothing.
of course you should let your child choose. teaching a child anything should require facts, not faith.

I happen to think that children come with their own nature and the best thing to do to raise happy empowered children is to allow them to be who they are born to be instead of forcing them to conform to our ideas of what ideal people should be? Any thoughts? Are you a molder or an allower?

Should children be given the chance to choose their own faith and religion?Many are born into their faith and often do not have a chance to explore other faith and religion. Although some have changed their religious belief when they grow up, but this is a handful of people only.
