The devil cannot enter your home unless you invite him in.

Allowing the neighbor kids into your yard to retrieve their balls is
inviting a whole lot of trouble. They will be nowhere nearly as careful with
your plants, garden and property as you are.

Tell them they don't need to ask - just go and get it. Worked fine for
me
some years ago.
Then they would be trespassing and if it was my garden, they would be in
grave danger of being seriously injured by my dogs.


But it isn't your garden and they're not trespassing if they ask and are
granted permission. And we don't know that the OP has dogs. At that
particular point in my life, I had two dogs and it never crossed my mind
that they would attack anyone, let alone children, because that wasn't in
their nature. I see no point in keeping vicious animals.
