I took latin in high school for a year or maybe two.

I wouldn't recommend it for kids. It's not a language that anyone speaks as a native, so the only time you hear it spoken is in class. It's more of a written language. Kids are going to be less excited about a written language. Sure, it will help with learning the other languages, but not as much as studying those other languages would.
