I de-converted from Christianity starting about 4 years ago, gradually, through education and seeking. However, even though I know what is true, I still find myself inwardly hoping my young children will grow up Christian. All I can figure is that it is some kind of bet hedging. Has anybody else experienced this? It is a very uncomfortable thing to mentally fight.

IMO the best advice in the entire Bible that you can give your kids is found in Proverbs 1:8-19.  If they adopt nothing but that they will be just fine.
