I, for one, have seen many, if not most second-generation traditional Catholics in my local SSPX chapel who don't understand the crisis and definitely will not pass on their Catholic Faith. There is no catechism class in the church, and nothing that teaches about the Crisis to the teenagers... they are the neglected group there.
How to keep the children Catholic??? ?

I told my wife 15 years ago:

"I wonder who will be the traditionalists of tomorrow? I do not think it will be the people our age and younger that we see around us, they have had it given to them. I think the future traditionalists will come from the fallen away who return from the gutters, like we did".

With every day that passes I see it unfolding as I thought it would. The SSPX schooled children who are now even up to 50 years old, have no fight in them. They prefer the drinks when they get home and playing cards with their buddies, than teach the fight to their children.
The same goes for those children currently in the "Resistance". I wouldn't even bet a few cents on their future reliability. The girls can't even dress right outside of Sundays. The one's who should know better don't or don't care; and even if thw parents don't teach them, they could teach themselves by reading the books in their own home, but they don't. When someone as uneducated as myself opens the mouth and all around believe you to be smart... there is a terrible problem at hand! 
   In my opinion, people who left the SSPX for the "Resistance" have not changed for the better, with maybe a couple exceptions. The only thing that seems to have changed is where you attend Mass. They are still the same ole' SSPXers.

By one's own examples of sacrifice do you make an impression on your children. You can't necessarily worry about another persons kid if they are not in your imediate environment for you to be an example and teacher. If the school ain't teaching them, YOU teach your kids their Faith. If you can't put the time in: 

Something I enjoyed visiting the Benedictine monastery in New Mexico was that they had some one read from a religious book while everyone was eating. Tgey would even take turns reading out loud. The Dominicans of Avrillé did the same at a retreat, and if made the meal more interesting. This is something I think families could also mimick for the better.
  You could use any book; The Bible, the Catechism, lives of saint's, Church History, etc.

Again, I stand accused if I am not doing my job as a father and husband. You are absolutely correct though. You can say "I am not going to the SSPX because they are compromisers" but if you live like every other pagan outside of the 1 hour on Sunday and your children are allowed to do whatever they want, are allowed to go on the internet unsupervised (or at all!), and your daughters are allowed to date and dress immodestly at home -- the list can can go on -- then WHO CARES IF YOU GO TO THE RESISTANCE. I wonder do people go to Resistance because they want to be more isolated and be more worldly since there are so few opportunities to go to Mass? 

It is the age old problem of grace and nature.

How can mothers give way to their girls’ min i-skirts and trousers, to their loose dress for parties which are obvious occasions of sin, where they waste their time and soil the purity of their hearts?

Because they themselves are hopelessly deluded.
