You generally want to brake before a turn rather than during as this gives you more control. Also, don't jam on the brakes- prepare to brake early and then brake lightly, gently applying more pressure as and if required. This'll reduce skidding.

Just another pointer- make sure the kids (and maybe you :wink: ) get into the habit of easing off the pedals when changing gear or the chain will wear and break sooner.
