My kids are sent disability retirement checks for my wife's permanent disability retirement. Do I claim their 1099-R's as income?

Turbotax doesn't give me an option for filing a 1099-R for my kids on the form I'm filling out, only for my wife and I.

No, do not report this income on your return.

Your children's social security disability benefits are not reported on your return.  They would be reported on separate returns if they were required to file. However, if disability benefits are their only source of income, they'll almost certainly not owe any federal income tax.
