Q: Should a Noahide teach his/her parents/family about Noahidism when the family isn’t interested?

Q: Should a Noahide teach his/her parents/family about Noahidism when the family isn’t interested in it? Lack of knowledge can lead to conflicts but in my opinion nobody should teach parents. A: You are right, you don’t have to teach your parents. Only personal behavior can eventually influence them.
