The real answer is that children is a double plural. Like many other neuter nouns, the Old English word cild ( pronounced chilled) took an -r in the plural, giving cild-r-u. By Middle English, the -u ending for the plural was lost, leaving childer, which was then morphed into children by analogy (probably) with brethren.
