as salam alykom Purgetroy
there is much difference when we say to instil Islam into children and rip off their freedom, for to be honest we are not free, we are slaves but slaves to what that is the difference. U might be a slave to Allah, and only Allah. The other alternative is very ugly, to be eslaved to yourself, desires, money, fame name it.
Now since parents are accountable before Allah about their children, they are commanded to instil what is halal and what is haram. A child must learn from young age to observe Allah's rule. U know why? simply because when he goes to England alone, he will still observe Allah's rules who is there and everywhere.
Hope I made sense.
