No matter what method you use, you will expose paint that has lead in it. Don't breathe the heat gun fumes, many of which you can't see. Dispose of all removed paint at your local hazmat recycle center. Do not contaminate your house, mainly because of the children. All lead absorbed by the body stays for life. No need to get them started early.

Tape down water resistant paper on the floor to catch your paint and bundle it up and put it in plastic bags. Do not sand the lead paint unless you wet sand. Yes, you can wet sand house paint.

Same thing goes for the strippers, catch the debris and bag it.
