Patience and wisdom are called for. Don’t stop talking to them... you may be the only contrasting point of view they hear. It may need a moment of revelation later in their life to accept it, but they can’t accept what they don’t hear about (unless God puts it direct in their minds, but often God uses people to carry the blessing of truth).

pray.
