How do you guys think it should be done? What can we learn from children and young adults coming into faith?

I assume you mean Christian education? Our church does adult and child catechesis, although the adult course includes pre-teens and teens. It's for anyone wanting to be a member or be confirmed or married (me) in the church. Our catechesis is pretty dang robust, too. Additionally, parents are encouraged to let their children participate fully in the liturgy. I've witnessed the 2 year old son of one of my priests singing with his mother and it's beautifully. Additionally, one of the families in closest to in the church I know does regular family prayer and reading Scripture. I imagine one day my family will participate in Morning and Evening prayer together, which includes two large readings as well as psalms and such.

Catechesis is the historical entry into the church. Early church catechumens did up to 3 years! Plus Father Lee is an amazing catechist. He balances theology and history and moral instruction with a twinge of apologetics.
