Multiplication in sunday school for youngsters (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

striplings

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for youngsters' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'multiplication in sunday school' is the wordplay.
'multiplication' becomes 'tripling' (tripling is a kind of multiplication).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'sunday school' becomes 'ss' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'tripling' put within 'ss' is 'STRIPLINGS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for striplings that I've seen is " youngsters".)
