But children as they grow will make their own minds up. My son is growing in his faith but my daughter has moved away (sad).

I have to disagree - I would rather my children (hah, now 30 and 34) did things because they helped others (and themselves) in this life, rather than for a reward in the next* - anything else is a bonus (imho).
I have no issues with anyone's beliefs, except where it impinges on others negatively.
*other afterlifes/continuations of existence may be available, please refer to manufacturers' user guides...
