The flash should not take too long to recharge (so long as its not the onboard flash). I use my sigma 500 flash and in a small room it can easily keep up with my camera becasue its only firing at a fraction of full power.
There shouldnt be an issue of flashing the kids eyes as you should try to "bounce" the flash. Basically pick a nearby wall or ceiling (preferably white to stop colour balance issues) and aim the flash at it. The camera (using TTL) should meter the flash accordingly.This has the effect of spreading the effect of the flash and stopping the harsh shadows that flash normally gives.
Only issue is that you might need to use Exposure Compensation/Flash Exposure Compensation ( just dial in what amount you need).
Hope it helps - flash can me a minefield til you get used to it (and im still learning!)
