You have to show rules and limitation that you are the boss or pack-leader. If they bark at stranger is your job to stop by saying -shoooh immediately and snap your fingers! And if they jump or continue barking, dont beat them whatsover. Instead, touch their neck, above the shoulder simulating a gentle bite by your finger that pack-leader (adult dogs) often do to puppies. By the way, like someone here suggested above, ask the children to cooperate and remind them to be gentle to your puppy. Remind to the kids that your puppy is still under training.
You can also try water by spraying your dog every time she/he goes wild. Just like you spray a Bozai tree/kids' water gun! In addition, you could your dog for a walk before you go to bed or during your spare/day time! Therefore, you dogs will be tired and settle down at night. You can buy a small tick clock and put besides their bed or room because clock reminds the puppy his/her mother heart-beat. It can distract your dog from other noise coming from neighbors. Or maybe radio turn down the volume.
If they barking continues, address your dog for 2-3 times -tell off your dogs to be quiet and then ignore. They will stop eventually. Good luck and take it easy.
