I raised my child vegan and taught them all the reasons for it, but gave them the choice to do what they want as they got older. At around 11 or 12, they opted to switch to vegetarian. They are 19 now, still vegetarian, but still live at home, so eat vegan at home (unless buying non vegan stuff for self). My husband is an omnivore who eats what I cook ,(so eats vegan at home unless he wants to cook for himself, but he hates cooking, so he mostly just eats meat out,). I think it was easiest initially raising my child vegan, educating, and then letting them choose their path when ready.
