My children is formal and correct whereas my kids is informal.

My children 
My kids
 Which one is correct  and why ?

You may use both but I would suggest to use my children when you speak in professional terms or formal situations but you may use my kids if it's none formal situation. 

Both are useable, but “my children” is more formal. If you’d like the informal approach, you say “my kids”. Most people say “my kids”. 

My children is used in a formal  way,my kids is informal.

'My children' is correct, and can be used both as a formal or an informal expression. 'My kids' is colloquial and often used in an informal way.

"My kids " is informal and "my children " is formal

'My children' is correct, because it is formal while ' my kids' is informal.

My children is proper English, the offspring from a human being, a kid is the baby of a goat,  but for some reasons, we use the word kids, I guess it is just passed down from generation to generation.

I have been teaching English and French Languages for more than twenty years; in fact, most of my online students are tourists and migrant students who need to learn English to be able to communicate with people around them and in their further studies. I have done this for more than 15 years. I taught in two high schools previously before my current job where I am teaching in a college. My lessons at high school and at college are in a classroom setting, and I have been doing this for more than 20 years. Currently, I am the head of the Languages department at my present job. I am very conversant with the TOEFL and IELTS and have been teaching these syllabuses for a long time now. I also teach non-English speaking migrants the basic and professional English they need to be able to communicate and settle in an English-speaking country. I have helped more than 50 students from 7 different countries including Mexico, France, Italy, Morrocco, and Algeria improve their English Language.

My teaching styles vary: they include a structural method, demonstration, group facilitation, and hybrid or blended method depending on the needs and the level of the students at a given time period. I teach students who are new to the language, the basics which include, grammar, sentence construction, and vocabulary in the form of written and spoken English. For the more mature learners who already know the basics, I teach styles of writing, comprehension, and composition. As we progress, I introduce, letter writing, report writing, speech, and other formal documents including application letters, CVs, dissertations, and proposal writing. We will be using PowerPoint presentations for illustrations sometimes. I do give oral and written assignments which are submitted through e-mail. I mark and give corrections the following day. There are times that we have a class discussion whereby we discuss some issues together. My class is always lively and I guarantee that you will enjoy it.

Each student will have a specific way in which they learn better some by demonstration, some by reading and the list goes on. As a teacher i learn to adept my teaching techniques in a way that in beneficial to the student as the student is more important.

My way of teaching is what you can call a fun and creative way. I like to reach out to my students and meet them in the middle and make my lessons interesting and fun. Learning is not always about being serious and focused but also being able to have fun and enjoy the moment while learning. I like to work on areas that my students have the most difficulty in cause as they say once you can conquer your fears you can then take anything else down. Keeping my students motivated is my #1 goal the same way that I expect them to learn from me is the same way i can learn things from them as well.
