Seconded, I sometimes get the same problem, less so now that we moved our Saturday session to 9.00a.m; we get them first! We also target parkrun but every 6-8 weeks at most. The emotional side is the key; as long they're enjoying it and you're not having to persuade them to go along (even if they then end up enjoying it) then I reckon you're fairly safe. You'll need to be more careful in a few years when they go through puberty; all sorts of training pitfalls waiting for you there!
