No: Getting enough iron and calcium in a vegetarian diet is often difficult, but if you'll get with a vegetarian-friendly evidence-based physician or dietician who can guide you, you should be fine. Especially, if you're going to force your children to be vegetarians (and I advise against this), be VERY sure they're getting supplemented thoroughly.
