Moved from the TCG Competitive Play to the TCG Player Help & Advice as the OP is asking for help. ~bbninjas
Anyways, what type of help are you looking for in particular? Are you looking for some tips in revealing the game to your kids? Some information about the 2016 formats?

In 2016, there is two competitive formats - Standard and Expanded. Standard is XY-on and Expanded is BW-on. Here is an official list of the legal expansions usable in each format. Team Rocket is not legal in either of these formats.
I suggest you try getting a few decks for your kids to play around with. One of the best packs that will teach them competitive power levels would be the Mewtwo vs Darkrai Battle Arena Deck, which features two 60-card decks containing many staple cards. There is also a Xerneas vs Yveltal Battle Arena Deck that contains multiple staples, but far less in comparison to the Mewtwo vs Darkrai kit. You could also try theme decks, although they are less powerful and have little use in the competitive scene.
