Are they your biological kids?  How old are they now?  If they are your biological kids and they are still under 18 years old, submit an I-864W for each child who is a minor.  If any child is already over 18, you need to submit an I-864 for that child, as they will not automatically gain US citizenship when they enter the US.

 

yes they are my biological kids, they are under the age of 18.

In that case, submit an I-864W for each child.  List yourself as form preparer.  If they are under 14 years old, you may also sign the I-864W on their behalf.

You must count your children in your household size in part 5, item 4 of the I-864 for your spouse.

They are still your dependent children, even if they are not in the US.  The I-864 instructions state that unmarried children who are still minors must be counted in the household size, even if the sponsor does not have custody of the children.  Refer to page 7 of https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf

Yes.  You must list your children under your household on your spouse's I-864.  Total household size for you, spouse, and 3 kids is 5.  If they will be living in your household after your spouse immigrates, of course, they are part of your household.  That is how the consulate officer determines your ability to properly support your spouse in the future.

I-864 for your spouse:  Household size for spouse, yourself, and 3 kids.
