[quote=Anonymous]From a religious perspective, you cannot push confirmation on another. It has to come from within. You can still maintain your family values and expect them to attend church weekly until they go to college. I wasn't baptized into the Methodist church until I was in college, where I bonded with a youth group there and felt the pull of fellowship. It was a lovely ceremony, I never felt isolated or embarrassed or too old. My children attend services weekly - in other words, I found my way to the church at a later than usual age, and my connection has lasted. Don't feel like confirmation is the end all, be all. Church is waiting for when they feel ready. (And often, that point is later when a wedding and/or their own children's upbringing is on their mind).[/quote]
