The best ones are where you're at or below the child's eye level. When you're towering over the kid, the shots suffer... at least in my opinion. But the rest are pretty good!
Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not saying it to be mean. I can tell that you have a real passion for photography and I know the best way that i learned was through true critique. These seem a bit like snapshots to me. There are no catchlights in any of the eyes, with exception of the last one where the eyes are nice and bright. Look to shoot in areas with even light like that one was done in. I assume the others were taken in full sun. To start out, look for shaded areas where there are less distracting elements like in the plain grass so you can take a look at the eyes of the children and see if the light is hitting them. Keep shooting!
Almost all of the pictures I take are with natural light, no flash and I hardly ever have enough time to stick a reflector in front of them - they're too fast! lol. Do you have an older child that will sit still that you can use for some practice? If so. Once the sun has gone down some, put them in the grass in nice even shade. Move them around in a circle (slowly ) and look at the way the light changes as you turn them. You'll see light in there as long as the sun is still out.
Here is an example photo - the light in his eyes is just from the sun.
