Initializing children of a custom component

I'm writing a custom component that extends LayoutGroup and I'd like to set up event observers on children. When my init() sub gets called, m.top has no children yet so I can't access any yet. In later methods (like "onKeyEvent") I can see the children there but obviously I don't want to set everything up multiple times.

Any help would be appreciated!

    Ok, this might not have been clear. These are children not specified by my component directly. Once again, similar to a LayoutGroup. For example:

    <MyComponent>
    <Button .../>
    <Label .../>
    <Button .../>
</MyComponent>
