Even in the most ardently non-Christian countries. And let's say the children decided to be Christian of their own free will and choice.

That sounds like a wonderful idea! Many children would then influence their parents to become Christians too, especially if they noticed the children being more obedient and happy. Many of the parents would want what the children have (relationship with God.)
There would probably be a lot more prayer and a lot more miracles, because children have such a simple faith. After all, Jesus said we need to become as little children to be able to receive His kingdom.
Hopefully there would be enough Christian adults around to teach the children the Bible and guide them in God's ways.
A lot of the children would be persecuted though, (especially in certain countries), because if the governments, schools, and parents were strongly opposed to the children being Christians, it could be very hard for the children, but God would give them grace and protect them, too.
Join me in prayer today for many children around the world to become Christians!

Well, that would certainly depend, now wouldn't it? Like, what KIND of Christian? What religion, or are we not talking religion, but really being Christian? The question is kind of hard to answer as posed...if I make an assumption that you mean they become Christian, as in being like Christ, then I think the following would happen:
People would treat each other with respect; people would manage their difficulties without violence; the meek would truly be inheriting the earth; power would cease to be a primary goal; wealth would cease to be a primary goal; peace would be a primary goal; taking care of one another would be a primary goal.
If some form or another of a Christian religious sect was picked as the sole entity, then things would keep on much as they are today, since power and money are at the heart of most of these churches. If it was simply any Christian religion would do, then we'd have war upon war, as the various factions tried to prove they were still the only TRUE version of Christianity. That's what I think.

That's like my asking what if all the lamp posts in the world turned into snakes. It simply isn't going to happen, and certainly not of their own free will and choice. But your question could also be read as "Don't you wish . . . " and my answer is no, absolutely not. I feel children should be exposed to a great many different beliefs, and learn that it is their own decision once they turn 18 what they will believe. I think parents should not say "This is so," but "I believe this."
I have no patience with propaganda aimed at children. If you want to ask why, check out the movie "Obsession" about the propaganda aimed at children in Muslim countries, and even in Muslim communities in the US, the UK, and all over Europe. Scary; very, very scary. The film includes a former Nazi Youth leader who draws parallels with the brainwashing he got as a child.

Silly-Silly There is much disagreement in the christian faiths on what is christian. Jew, Hindu,Muslim,Buddhist and others would definitely be beating there kids, and I know you wouldn't want that . Or maybe you would pain and death seem to mirror religions. There are no guarantees with the sperm and the egg, becoming christian wont help the millions who were born with (JUST A FEW) strikes against them. But (IF) frogs had wings they would fu....... bat's. Seek a higher education cookie,

nothing much will change i reckon except for the fact that everyone's labelled as "Christian" - that probably wouldnt even make sense anymore because everyone is. it will somehow loose its essence, it would cease to mean anything.
despite taking Christ's name, the question is whether or not people would actually live a Christ-like life. it's not the name in itself, but how you act upon that name that will make the difference.
this somehow reminds me of 2 Nephi 2:11

They would grow up. Many would accept the choice as their new life plan. Probably more people would reject it as they grew older and more rational. In a span of 20 years, the world probably wouldn't be much different than it was before.

In some countries, people would kill their children for believing in Jesus.
However, if everyone became a Christian (not just children), then we would know that we had died and gone to heaven.

Um... it's kind of simple... that means that the entire would would be full of Christian children... it won't make a difference there will just be wars between the denominations instead of the different religions..
