3. You could also consider raising the temp. This will not reduce the
recovery time, but since the water is hotter you will use less for
showers and baths. However, since you have little children, you've got
to be careful to not get the water so hot that scalding could be a
problem.

Some bath/shower faucets can be adjusted to set a maximum temperature.

I know this is the case with Moen Positemp faucets -- these are the ones
that rotate through cold before getting to hot, so a young child who
turns the water on cannot turn on only hot, but must go throug cold
first. When the handle is removed, there is a small plastic stop that
can be adjusted to stop the handle from turning beyond a certain maximum
(hot) point.
