Children= Plural possessive Noun.
Misuse of Apostrophes
Never use the apostrophe after a plural noun that
does not show possession.
There are many car’s in the parking lot. (wrong).
 There are many cars in the parking lot.
Never use apostrophe with possessive pronouns-
Its, hers, his, yours, ours, and theirs.
They do not require an apostrophe because they
already have shown possession.
