I have two kids and they have been raised around a mass quanitity of bull and terrier type dogs as I was involved in rescue and I dog sit. The biggest chance of success is, like already mentioned, MONITOR THEM. Teach the kids PROPER interactions with dogs. Respect is a two way street and both kids and dogs should be taught how to behave properly around each other and if you are too distracted to monitor, or the dog, or kids are over excited, it's best to safely confine the dog. There are those dogs that DON'T do well with kids, in my experience they have been the exception rather than the rule, but you still want to be realistic that not all dogs make good family dogs, so don't just assume that they will be good family dogs because someone elses ''pit bull'' is. If your dog is displaying inappropriate temperment for a family dog, your kids safety should be first priority.
