   i grew up with a wood stove.. as long as their is proper ventilation, then the stove is fine.. a possibility on your kids is that the wood stove is drying up the air, making it hard on them to breath, try getting a humidifier for the rooms they spend the most time in… you can also put a big pot of water on the stove and let it simmer, keep adding water to it, so it doesnt run out, and it will release humidity in the air…
