Psycho Pass is the only thing that came to mind. I haven't watched much more recent than that and other people here already said a lot of what I would have

Mushishi technically fits the bill and I'm mentioning it just because it's very good. It's almost a ghibli vibe where its kid appropriate but not wholly centered on kids and very much good enough to stand on its own. Just a very touching series of basically fables in anime form, but a lot of them have one or two child characters. (some revolve around an older person or just a village or spirit or something but probably more than half have kids, but its very episodic and the main recurring character is an adult)
