As with adults, you do not stop CPR once you start to check for signs. The only reasons you would stop would be the following:
1. an AED is ready to use
2. another equally/better trained person can take your place performing CPR
3. the scene has become unsafe for some reason
4. the victim SHOWED signs of life
5. you become too tired to continue performing CPR
In the initial assessment, check for signs of life. During rescue breathing, check for signs of life every 2 minutes. During CPR, don't check for signs of life any more. Unless you see obvious signs of life once CPR is started, continue doing CPR.

Signs of life check after the initial check for an adult has been eliminated.
