How are all your smaller children doing? Are they anxious?

Mine are older...so can understand the situation and reason. But what about all the little ones?

My friend's DD is only 6 and has been having stomach aches and nightmares. :(

Mine are 6, 4 and 1. 6 year old is a bit anxious and has started to realise that staying at home indefinitely isn’t as lovely as it sounds (we’ve been in self isolation for 6 days). She has realised that something ‘big’ is going on, so we’re trying to keep all cv discussion until after she’s in bed.
4 year old hasn’t displayed any anxiety yet, but is missing school and her friends a lot.

Ds is 7 and had nightmares for the past two nights. He and his sister (11) will be going into school today and tomorrow as they’re both going to miss their friends a lot and their hobbies as well. But they’re not overly anxious about it and talk about it and ask questions which I answer as honestly as I can and as reassuringly.
I’m taking daily temperatures and oxygen levels for everyone in the family so we can reasonably well expect to know if we need to self isolate.
