Is it possible to count children in a script?
How would you use a script to count children in let's say Workspace?

Of course.
We can get the list of children of the workspace simply:
local children = workspace:GetChildren();
Since children is a table, we can get its length using the # operator:
local children = workspace:GetChildren(); local numberOfChildren = #children; -- How many things are children, -- the length of the list of children

Well, you'd use getchildren, which returns a table.
NumberOfChildren = #game.Workspace:GetChildren()
