kidlets
The young offspring
Kidlets is an informal, affectionate term for children—typically one's own or those in a group.
The diminutive suffix adds warmth and casualness: Time to get the kidlets ready for bed.
The word suggests fondness without being saccharine, common among parents speaking to other adults.
