Answer
It is much more difficult to expect modern children to participate in religion than in previous generations, because they are better informed and feel competent to begin making life decisions. Whereas in the past, one could threaten children with eternal punishment if they do not conform, this is less likely to be effective now. You have probably also tried asserting the truth of your religion, only to be met with counter-arguments. So, parents will need to be more subtle.
First of all, parents should recognise that the children will, sooner or later, make their own decision. Letting the children know that their decision will be accepted will develop respect in return. And, knowing that they are free to make their own decision without parental pressure, children are more likely to seek to know more about religion, and participate in it, before they make a final decision on their faith or otherwise. Make age-appropriate information about your religion available to the children, in pamphlet or book form, without prying as to whether they actually read it. Without pressure from parents or others, they may begin to read what you have provided and develop a curiosity to know more.
No matter what parents do, there is no guarantee that their children will become firm believers, but at least it is possible to let the children participate in their own time and pace, learning to understand and perhaps accept the religion their parents hold dear.
