I have a sister in a Baptist church that doesn't advocate separating the families and thinks you shouldn't have SS or Children's Church.
As the Lord opened that door to teach both in my life I can' be against it. If God was against it, He wouldn't have opened the door, IMO.
I believe it gives any mother and father a break to listen to the preaching and not have to juggle their children.
As a mother, I did appreciate SS. JMHO.
We have usually had a night service on Sunday night and so the kids did get to experience the adult service. Lots of churches are doing away with that.

My former pastor's wife, Mother Dunlap, instructed that you don't wait until service time to teach your children to sit still in service. The teaching begins at home where you show them "this is prayer time and this is what we ," and "this is what we do when they read the Scriptures."
You give them their quiet times and teach them how to do and what to do in the house of God...you show them how to sit still at home first.
And SS is great...
