Answer
I think that the best time of year is from now until the middle of October and from first week in April to the middle of May
Understand that the operative here is "On" which should not be confused with "In" Because given the ages of your children you will not be able to get the Backcountry Permit that NPS requires of all hikers who intend to spend any amount of nights camped "In " the Grand Canyon
Here's what goes into getting a Backcountry Permit http://www.nps.gov/grca/parknews/upload/backcountry_planner08.pdf
Since you will be spending nights on the Rim you really have only 2 choices inside the S.Rim side of the Park:
The uber civilized Mather CG and sort of remote and nice w /great views CS at Desert View
Here's all that you need to know about that

Side note :
It is often incorrectly stated by many other posters that GCNP is hot in summer >While that statement is 100% true if one is referring to the Inner Canyon it is not true if one is referring to the Rims of the Canyon which will rarely get hotter than 90 F
The S.Rim is at 7000' in a Ponderosa Pine forest
The N. Rim is at 8000'+ in a Ponderosa Pine forest that transitions to Aspens
Enjoy your visit

What are the best camping safely tips?

My children and I have been tent camping regularly in National Forest areas and I would like to continue, but the recent bear attack on the poor boy in Utah has me thinking twice. I do not own a gun and so far have just followed the no food in camp rule as a precaution. What can I do to protect myself and my children other than not going?
Answer
I would get information on bear safety and stay away from areas that have seen many bears in the area. Here are some links to teach you about bear safety
