Well, if you can't keep them locked out... keep them locked in.
Secure the point of their entry so that they cannot escape through it.
Have double sided deadbolts on the doors so they cannot unlock and leave.
Also be equipped with motion sensor lighting on all sides of the home, preferably, with cameras in them.
Find these very affordable here....

They have wireless motion sensor engaged camera flood lights, with VCR DVD-R -turn on record-commanders, at least to capture video of the intrusion. Cheap too... Under $750.00 for a good package.
They even have night vision, pan/tilt-zoom camera options.

Still though, keep them from escaping once you have settled into your "safe room", and capture as much video footage of the intruders as you can.

Of course too... keep your primary video recording unit hidden away in a rafter somewhere, just in case the alarm don't chase them away quickly and they end up robbing some items while they are in there at it. Since the units specified, (the x10's), are wireless, they are easily hidden and stashed in a remote area, out of sight, and they cannot find it to steal the video evidence you will have against them that will justify your cause.

As far as the kids go, have them expert at hide and seek, and kept aware to take and keep cover so they can stay out of the firing line. ; )
