Sounds a fun panel and blimey, Fuzzy the Krypto Mouse is coming back! Apropos pedantry, he actually debuted in 1958, in Superboy #65.

My little boys and I are really looking forward to Superman Family Adventures.

Is the line actually called "for kids"? If yes it would sound like a somewhat unwise move to me. If you put a kid in front of two comics, one titled "for kids" and the other "for adults" (or someting similar), most will be more curious about the "mature" title. Regardless of how young they are, kids don't want the feeling that they are treated like little kids, they want to be big ones.

They should do something with the Zoo Crew. My 8 and 10 year old really love the old comics.

This. Personally, I wouldn't use labels at all--other than maybe putting "Adventures" in the title or something. There's nothing kids hate more than condescension (whether true or not). And yet, businesses still think that "Kids Lines" are a viable strategy. There's a difference between "All Ages" and "For Kids."
