How about:
Please list ages and genders of any children living with you.

That may be badly worded, but I was trying to get a feel for children
who would actually use the computers the respondent uses.

Why not something like...
Please tell us about any children living with you:
          <5, 5-10, 11-15, 16-20, M/F
Child 1:  []   []     []     []   [][]
Child 2:  []   []     []     []   [][]
Child 3:  []   []     []     []   [][]
Child 4:  []   []     []     []   [][]
Child 5:  []   []     []     []   [][]
More than 5 kids? Please Click me! []

This prevents unexpected user input...
