Your last paragraph merely highlights precisely the points made by Dawkins. The choice is made to bring in the child to thinking in a particular way instead of saying from the start "there are many things you can believe in or not believe in. Let us examine them and when you are mature enough you can choose".

Again, Dawkins' argument (and yours) is merely self-serving. He argues that other families should bring up their kids like Dawkins. Obviously Dawkins wants to commend his own parenting techniques; he chose them. The big no-no, however, is the implication that people who don't emulate Dawkins are behaving in a way that is dangerous to their children's development.
