Hi, Use 'and' if you simply want to link two statements. Use ' but' if you want to show a contrast between two statements. I don't see any contrast in your original sentence.

- If you just say 'children', it sounds like you are making a general statement about all children.
- If not, say eg 'The/Some children'.
