Their activity level will be determined by them. I won't hold them back, nor will I push them.

Just out of curiosity, do you plan to be so ambivalent about all your childrens' endeavors or just the LDS church?
In other words, when your kid is a teen and he has to go to football practice and he says, "nah, don't really feel like it today, I want to play xbox," are you going to say, "Cool! I dont really care one way or the other. Do your thing, homie!"
Seems like you are putting your biases on your kids already, even though it may not feel like that is what is happening.
Why be neutral about any of your childrens' interests?
