If you want to do it the way the UBF World Child Education Director (Peter Chang) was doing it, just kick the child into the groin until they accept what you want from them...
Sorry, excuse me for that.

other than that, maybe you need to take this into the OT forum.
In general, you need to be keen that you raise your children in a fashion worthy of a Christian, and don't worry about being "legalistic", Galatians teaches us that the law is a child-keeper, a safeguard, a preservation, for all those who do not have the Lord's spirit within them to guide them unto eternal life: as such, a Christian's responsibility is to teach their children law and regulations, up to the point where they receive the Lord Jesus, from that point on the responsibility is to raise them into full-grown, mature, self-sufficient members of the Body of Christ.

"Being legalistic" has a bad flavour stuck to it, because it implies using the Law as an excuse for improper behaviour; using and abiding in the law on a proper motive is not the same thing usually, and remember the Lord's word "I have not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill" as well as "Heavens and earth shall pass away, but not a single iota of the Law". The Law, of course, is not human regulations, but the Law of God.

In Christ,
Mike K.
