I've a 1 year old fortress and I'd 2 inmigrations untill now (I haven't had the big spring one).
The problem is that almost half of the inmigrants are children, from 19 dwarfs (12 inmigrants, 7 originals) 8 are children.
What's the reason that makes my fortress "children friendly"?

In earlier versions, immigrants were randomly generated dwarfs. Since v0.34.01, most immigrants are historical figures who were active during worldgen - that's why some of them have kill lists, are scarred or even miss limbs.
Unfortunately, one of the more popular activities is getting married and having children. And because you can't just leave your family behind, many dwarfs bring their children with them.

I think setting the child cap in the init files should help.

making a meeting zone below a dwarven atom smasher. Make sure all adults have their own recreation area and are working.

Pull the lever.

No corpse, no sadness. Engrave a few slabs and you're good to go.

Be sure to have only one child under the bridge at a time. If two or more are smashed at once, somehow one is able to notice the death of the other, and then you have unhappy dwarves.
