here is my answer for what it is worth - assuming we are not talking about a busy sidewalk, then have your kids ride there. if they make a mistake, it si not like they are swerving into traffic. teach them to pay extra attention at intersections.
for you, i'd suggest taking a position on the street, or at the very least on the sidewalk to their left, once again, to prevent them from going to the left and into traffic. if you can ride a bit ahead of them as you get to and intersection to signal to other drivers to pay more attention to a cyclist in the area.
this whole situation becomes a little more convuluted if you are dealing with multiple boogies, er, i mean kids. in that case i would focus on the youngest.

Further, if they are on the sidewalk, am I on the sidewalk too or am I just riding extra slow on the street?
