God bless you for working with the little ones!
Usually at this level I try to focus on "teaching" as much as officiating during the game. Typically, any T's are reserved for jackass
behavior by a coach or player and not so much for technical rules violations.
At this level, the penalty of a T for this violation has little impact to prevent further occurences. The kids simply do not know what they did to be wrong or they forget 5 minutes later. Keep trying to teach them and as they get older it will sink in, save your T.
