My "assets" come from the game; I do not ask people for permission to use the re-shaped meshes of this mod, but a heads-up is most welcomed and credit is all I ask.

Changelogs
Version v1.3
This version removes the laugh lines on children's faces and smooths their cheeks and neck areas to avoid sharp shadow pockets that happen with ENB's detailed shadows.
Refined boy's preset 1 have smaller lips and smoother mouth corners, and preset 3 to have fuller lips and less space between the mouth and the nose.
Version v1.2
This version adds optional vanilla children replacements, and an option for non-playable children options.
Version v1.0
First release. This will add 3 presets per gender in the LooksMenu
New face presets for children:
Whether you dislike the Vanilla faces or like to have some variety, this mod will give you a wider range of customization by adding 3 new fully morph-able face options per gender as a baseline. These faces were re-shaped based on immersion and looks; less rounded faces due to mal-nutrition and different, more diverse looks give a more realistic view of the children of the Fallout universe.
Face replacement for vanilla children:
As of version v1.2, you can now use Vortex or FOMOD to select one of the three re-shaped faces to replace all children in the game with; additionally, you can replace the ugly curved eyebrows vanilla boys use with something more natural-looking. The vanilla replacements do not require Custom Playable Children.
How it works:
This is not a LooksMenu presets mod, this mod goes deeper and re-shapes the mesh of the face directly to allow further customization with the in-game tools. To accomplish this, I used Custom Playable Children's presets and re-placed the vanilla mesh paths to my modded meshes.
How to use:
Once you have installed this mod, you can customize your character by opening the console and typing the command "slm 14" (without quotes) and swapping the meshes in this mod by pressing "A" and/or "D" in your keyboard or the bumpers if you're using a controller.
The default preset when you open the customization menu should have the vanilla mesh, while the next presets to the right (by pressing "D") should cycle through the 3 modded presets; these are the only 3 slots I used so moving forward through the rest of the presets will either have an adult face mesh or a vanilla child face mesh.
Future plans:
If people like these presets: - I will release options to replace the faces of all vanilla children with them. - I will make more presets for more diversity. - I will customize some "notable children" a bit further for a more unique look.
