My kids too, IA. I wanted them to choose for themselves. I was ‘christened’ like most kids of that era .. but then baptised by choice at 23. All 3 of my kids independently asked for Baptism at ages 12, 15 and 18.
There could be a big discussion around ‘indoctrination.’ I suppose it literally means ‘ putting in doctrine/ teaching.’ I suspect that, in most cases, its a label for criticising ‘the teaching of things as true which I don’t personally subscribe to.’ In reality it seems that most caring parents in all societies seek to pass on their values and outlook to their kids. One man’s indoctrination may be another man’s teaching of values.
