Setting aside the time they lived as mundanes, in the first movie,
Elastigirl finds the kids have stowed-away on her rescue flight.  She
probably would have taken them back home, but is shot down and perforce
the kids are involved in the Island assault.  Likewise, the kids are
in the airborne van leading up to the terminal giant robot fight, and there
is no time to drop them off.

It does appear that the parents bless the kids participation in the fight
against The Underminer which closes the movie.

In the second movie, the kids are kidnapped out of Frozone's supervision
and kind of join the boat fight on their own by which time there is no way
for the parents to get them away from it.  There is a nice bit where Violet
comes to realize the most important thing she can do in the boat fight
is protect her baby brother: a sign of growing maturity.

So, it's not 100%, but in general the parents try to keep the kids out of
heroing, but the plot usually intervenes.
