What are the proper/good words would I say to refer to when my children are still kids? Context: my children are now adults, how do I say when I recall back when they are younger, when they are still kids?

Kids is a slang term for children (in the 'young people' sense). As you are talking about your adult children, you could say "When my children were young/younger/small" or (depending on what family you have) "When the boys/girls/Jane and John were kids/children".– Kate BuntingNov 20, 2021 at 14:04

Using "When my children were young" would be accurate in your case I believe. I might be wrong, but pretty sure about the use of 'were'. The word 'Children' is the plural of 'child'.
