"Classical" is the name the Romantic composers of the nineteenth century gave to the period immediately before them, with Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert particularly in mind.
The use of the term "classical" was subsequently expanded to include the Romantics and both earlier and later composers. It was used to distinguish their products from "popular" music such as commercial and ethnic music. By implication, this use of the word "classical" denotes music that is primarily written, as distinct from music learnt by ear.
Beyond that, the term is a meaningless shibboleth.
Some of it is wonderful to work with kids (I taught it for many years). Pieces such as the suite form Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker", and Saint-Saens "Carnival of the Animals" are two good examples.
Edit:
Not necessarily. Classical Music is for everyone. As for kids playing classical music, pieces by Chopin, for example, might not be the best choice because of the emotions associated with it (somewhat depressed, heartbroken, etc). Beethoven's 'Moonlight' Sonata also deals with 'adult' emotions, so it also might not be considered 'children's music.' Although kids can play those types of pieces, it would be hard for them to genuinely be able to feel those emotions (assuming their life isn't a total tragedy).
