Create the family in CAS to include the four children and one or two Parents/Caregivers.
For a longer challenge you could start with Toddlers if you really really want to go crazy.
Alternate Start: Start with at least one Parent/Caregiver plus two Toddlers or Children.
The other two children can be added by adoption or being born into the family.

Remember each child needs to start with a different Child Aspiration.
The Parents/Caregivers may have any traits or aspirations to help the children with their goals.
Using the starter funds place the household anywhere except San Myshuno.
A house will work out much better and allow more space than an apartment.
Lot Traits can help enhance certain skills. Newcrest has lots close to a spot with a Jungle Gym (the Ship) or a spot with Monkey Bars for Motor Skills and meeting more Sims.
Also consider somewhere close to a Fishing spot to gain Mental Skill.
Creativity can be gained by gazing at the Clouds or Stars. Additionally a computer, drawing table, chemistry table, toys, a Music instrument and a chess set are required to complete aspirations.
-Parenthood Pack also includes a diary (Creativity/Writing) and school projects.
The school projects are a great family interaction tool and enhance different skills as well as contribute to building Character Values.

When starting with toddlers be aware of the following.
Important message:22 March 2019
There is an open issue at AnswersHQ that results in Sims created fresh in CAS are aleady starting to age. The toddler stage is only seven days on normal lifespan.
Starting with aging off is allowed due to the aging glitch.
This will allow the full seven days to maximize the toddler skills.
The toddler(s) can be aged up after the first seven days.
At that point aging can be turned on again to continue to play.
You are invited to go to this link and tick the "Me too" button.
[OPEN] Age groups start with random days added
Parents/Caregivers should make money from home by Writing, Collecting, Crafting etc to allow ample time with the children.
Creativity Skill - Drawing Table, Playing Instruments, Star/Cloud Gazing, Playing with Toys
Mental Skill - Playing Chess or Fishing or playing Arithmetic Attack game on computer
Motor Skill - Jungle Gym, Monkey Bars, Dancing, Practicing Typing on the computer or Asking for Typing Tips
Social - Text, Chat in Child Chat rooms or Talk to other Sims using Socials with the special icon
Parents can "Encourage" a child at the drawing table to enhance the creative mood.
Parents can Read to Child/Children for kids to gain Fun.
Children can take Vacation days off to have extra time to build skills.
Parents with enough Writing skill can write an excuse to give kids an extra day off.
Form groups of two or more to have children do homework or other activities together saves time and promotes Social interactions.
01 Animal - Friend of the Animals (Cats & Dogs)
02 Athletic - Bodybuilder
03 Creativity - Painter / Writer / Musician / Master Actor
04 Deviance - Public Enemy / Chief of Mischief
05 Family - Four choices (Including Super Parent & Vampire Family)
06 Food - Culinary / Mixology / Grilled Cheese (Unlocked)
07 Fortune - Wealth / Property
08 Knowledge - Three choices plus Master Vampire / Archaeology Scholar (JA)
09 Location - City Native (City Living) / Mystery of StrangerVille (StrangerVille)
10 Love - Serial Romantic / Soulmate
11 Nature - Botanist / Fisherman / Curator / Outdoor Enthusiast (OR Pack) / Jungle Explorer (JA)
12 Popularity - Joker / Friend / Party / Leader of the Pack / Good Vampire / World Famous Celebrity
Social Butterfly is also fun *Insert EyeRoll* getting those 3 Child friends plus 2 Adult friends is hard work!
Would love to hear about your progress.
Feedback would also be appreciated.

Thank you! Just what I needed. This challenge is really keeping me hopping. I guess it's having all the kids at once. Maybe the toddlers were a bad idea. I thought it would be helpful to have more time with them to reach the childhood goals but I guess I was WRONG
