What do you think the worst child's age to isolate is?

[Thurlow]

Just been asked to isolate our 4yo. I'm thinking this is a pretty shit age because he's old enough to not like missing nursery and his friends, but not old enough to understand or amuse himself too much. Oh if only it had been the 9yo But are other ages worse?

Definitely 2. Absolutely irrational, low attention span and needs to burn off energy.

5 year old DD would be fine. Loves her playmobil and polly pockets. Likes writing. Happy to watch films and bake. Little bit stroppy but good company.
