Although they might get told to go to the doctor and not the New Age healer.

Where do you draw the line, though ? Kids also get told to brush their teeth and to never play in traffic...

Ask Jiro, I'm not convinced a line exists.

The question dealt with beliefs. Brushing one's teeth (or going to a doctor instead of a healer) is an action. Going to Mass is technically an action, but its primary effect is to instill a belief system in the child.
