And the dynamic is age-old. Trying to enforce the beliefs of the parents in the mind of the child has almost always had the opposite result.
All a parent can do is provide good information and good guidance, pay attention to what the child is doing, and do what they can to prevent acting out in negative behaviour.

And if an extreme situation is suddenly discovered 'one day', they should have as intent a look at their parenting skills, as they do at the child's behaviour.
Kind of goes along with that whole "preacher's daughter theory" ey?
