I know it's dangerous, but I have had close shaves just by walking the dog.
If you worry too much then it is time to quit, I know a few people who have and I understand.

I have the same sort of situation, passed my test not that long ago, and have 3 kids.
I have a sticker on my bike "I don't want you to kill yourself on your bike daddy!" The words of my 6yr old one night as I was putting her to bed, she's never heard ANYTHING that's happened whilst I was out on the bike, but she still worries about it. So I tried to explain to all the kids exactly why I take the risk.
My eldest has openly said that he wants to learn how to ride a motorbike. I've told him that he can help me fix the CG125, and I'll teach him on that (he's 8 ). My youngest is on my bike at every opportunity.
