My floor standers, like many others, came with a fairly broad base - you would need to deflect the speakers through a large angle (sorry, not measured it) before they fell over.
However this will,as you say, entail lots of listening and expense and even then will only reduce the risk somewhat. If it were me, I'd be looking for ways to tie down the back of the stand to the floor (somewhat like the way we tie the top of bookcases to the wall for much the same reasons). Screw into the floor, a short strap, and then (the tricky bit) some attachment to the back of the stand. You can also reduce the risk of toppling sideways just by placing objects (eg equipment racks, TVs, CD racks...) beside the speakers. Whatever, its a compromise. True audio nirvana will only reappear when the kids are big enough that you don't have to worry about this sort of thing anymore!
