My child is a dependent, and they need an ITIN for me to file my taxes. Should I submit Form W-7 for them now, or do I have to wait until I file my tax return?

You generally need to submit Form W-7 along with your tax return unless you qualify for an exception (e.g., claiming a tax treaty benefit). Mail the W-7, supporting documents, and your tax return together to the IRS to ensure proper processing. Check the IRS instructions for exceptions.
