If you make yourself a linux-based firewall (virtually free - a P90 would be overkill) then you can have one interface lead to the cable modem, one lead to your network, and a third lead to the kids network. You're networks are nicely seperate - your kids might get completely owned and your machines would still be safe.

The only potential problem is that one of your requirements is that all machines can access each other. With the setup I described, you place a firewall between your kids network and your own network. If a firewall isn't too restrictive, then you should be good. If it is, then prepare to get owned as soon as your kids do.
