The lack of Dwarven children can be attributed to Tolkien's focus on Elves, Men, and hobbits rather than dwarves. Unfinished Tales and the Lost Road also focus on children; I highly recommend reading them as well.

OH...somewhat slightly off-topic; Did anyone notice the listing of the "Cute Hobbit Children" that was separate from the actors who portrayed the other Hobbit children? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
