You seem to be very tied up with exact numbers here and devising a formula of x number of paragraphs comprising x number of sentences; this is not how creative writing works, as DG has already explained. The key is your dc's idea(s) and then their ability to express themselves fluently using appropriate vocabulary. Please note this means NOT stuffing their writing full of rehearsed similes and pointless adjectives.
