child tax credit 2018

Hi, I wondered if someone on the forum could help me understand the 2018 tax credit for dependents.

I make less than $200k, 4 children ages 22, 20, 19, 17.

what are the implications for each (all students for 2018) 2 college, 2 high school. I've read enough to have my head spin...

What is each dependent's tax credit worth?

thank you in advance for taking the time to answer.

--Brian
