is the below mentioned grammatically correct?

(a) "John and Sara enjoy spending time with children Amy and Shawn, enjoying sports, reading, and traveling."

should the "with children " in the above be "with their children " so that it would read as

(b) "John and Sara enjoy spending time with their children Amy and Shawn, enjoying sports, reading, and traveling."

Is (a) correct to use on the short bio or should it be (b)?
  

Top answer

(b) is more standard, but we often see and hear (a) in the media. Try to avoid two uses of the verb 'enjoy' in the same sentence.
