Grav template -- Twig not listing child pages - twig

Question

I have made a few pages in grav with a taxonomy like this.
- Home (category type)
- programming (category type)
- stuff (category type)
- stuff1 (page type)
- stuff2 (page type)
- stuff3 (page type)
I've also made a template type called "category" which should hopefully grab all the links to stuff1/2/3 and place them on the "stuff" page as links. My code looks a bit like this:
{% block body %}
{% block content %}
<ul>
{% for p in self.children %}
<li>{{ p.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endblock %}
{% endblock %}
The end goal is to just get a simple listing of links for children to the category something like:
<ul>
<li>stuff1</li>
<li>stuff2</li>
<li>stuff3</li>
</ul>
I've tried using page.children, self.children, and a few other things but nothing seems to be getting this to work the way that I want it to.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm afraid I do not quite understand what you mean by 'category type' and 'page type...
The docs on Page Collections might be quite helpful.
Example:
If you want a page with template 'category.html.twig' which shows a list of urls to all pages containing a certain category (or tag), you can do the following:
create a page 'category.md' defining a collection of categories in frontmatter:
content:
items:
'#taxonomy.category': mycategory
Create a template 'category.html.twig' containing:
<ul>
{% for p in page.collection() %}
<li>{{p.title}}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
The resulting page will look like:
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Body & Hero Classes</li>
</ul>
