Is it correct to force a son/daughter to follow reliogious teachings in youth??? In the other hand should a parent wait for him to became adult and choose with his own mind wich religion to follow?.... I know some framily does that

i think that parents have only to explain religion to their children, not to force them to believe or not. for that, will be children with their own minds and souls to decide.

It is wrong for parents to shove their religions down their children's throats. That being said, if non-believers in God find it wise to let their children think the way they as parents think, it is more prudent for believers to take their children to church with them rather than leave them at home. When children could not make decisions for themselves yet, the parents do what they think are best for them but eventually they will all mature where they can make decisions for themselves.
