Tu as des enfants?

I answered "je n'en ai aucun". Is this not correct as well as just "aucun" ? The example that Celine gives below seems to indicate that's an option.

Hi Susan,

As Chris says, what you say isn't wrong only in this exercise as we were looking for -

"no, none. " 

and not

"no, I don't have any ( of them)"

Bonne continuation !

Je n'en ai aucun -- I don't have any (of them).

Using en ("of them") sounds a bit overstated to me.
