Kids are rarely still - increase your shutter speed if you're having trouble with focus using single point AF. Your ss on these seem low to me for candid type portraits of little ones. Also, make sure your camera holding technique is solid to avoid camera shake. I mention both of these because I was having similar issues on those rare occasions when I take people pics. I was getting a lot of missed focus. Concentrating on my holding technique and upping the ss really made a difference. You can bump up the ISO a bit if you're worried about underexposing. I'd rather have a slightly noisy shot than a missed focus.
