As a True Christian™ father and husband and covenant head of household, I have followed Joshua's example and exercised free will on behalf my wife and children and decided we would all serve the Lord.
Josh 24:15b But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
It is my duty to raise my children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Eph 6:4). I do this by diligently teaching them God's commandments.
Deut 6:6-7 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
I use the rod whenever they go astray. I limit their exposure to the outside world, so that may be "in the world but not of the world" (Jn 17:14-15). I figure that if they grow up isolated they will never really fit into the world anyway even if they want to. I sow distrust in their hearts so that they will be wary of what they hear from unbelievers and reject evolution and other secular teachings. Romans 1:18-32 is a good passage to use, but there are many others. I constantly ridicule unbelievers in their presence.
None of my children are fully grown yet, but they are learning not to think for themselves. I don't expect I'll ever get a call like that lady in the video.
