The individual narrative does not report children - you need to use
the Journal to get that. You can make the parents witnesses to the
childrens' birth tag, as Dean suggests, which solves the problem for
the Individual narrative. However you many not like the results if you
then use the ancestor or descendant narratives, as you end you with
the information repeated in those formats.

A solution that solves that problem (if you care) is to create a
custom tag in the other events or birth group and record the births
there with the parents attached. Include this tag only in Individual
Narratives, not in ancestor or descendant narratives. The disadvantage
is you need to enter the births twice, and you see both tags in the
person view.
