You could use the Ditto snippet to show the childrens content anyway you want

[[Ditto? &parents=`your_parent_id`&tpl=`tplyourtemplatechunk`]]

And then you create a chunk that shows the info you want from your children.

<div class="something">
    <h2>[+pagetitle+]</h2>
    [+content+]
</div>

Use plus-sign instead of asterix inside the Ditto template :)
