It's a broadcast of one's own biases to consider either of these terms more 'valid' than the other.

You seem to misunderstand. No one is saying one term is more valid than the other. They are different words meant to describe different people.

A person that doesn't want children, and doesn't have any, is considered childfree.

A person that wants children, but doesn't have any, is considered childless.

Since these parents are trying to convince their children to have kids, said children are clearly childfree, not childless. A childless person that wants children wouldn't need convincing
