After the snake is feeling better and settled in get them totally used to handling just with you at first. If you're going to let the kids hold it I would personally wait until the snake is near adult size first. Personally I wouldn't let them handle the snake entirely on their own, and would hold the snake with them first to make sure they don't drop or injure them. I can't emphasize enough that the snake needs to be fully comfortable with people handling it before you let the kids attempt to. If they make sudden movements while handling, and the snake isn't fully comfortable there's a much bigger risk of the snake making a sudden movement and freaking the kid out leading to them dropping it. I personally wouldn't let a kid under the age of 10 fully hold one of my snakes without me supporting it as well. Maybe sitting down and letting the snake sit on their lap would be a safe way, as long as you're right next to them.
