Electrons emitted by a tube cathode (cathode rays) are a form of "radiation", but they are not "radioactive". In other words, cathode rays are not known to be particularly dangerous because they don't carry enough energy to be ionizing (aka radioactive). So it's safe for your children to be around your tube gear. Unless they grab a hot tube or somehow shock themseleves.
