I was dx'ed at age 32, had three kids, all under age 9. I never gave a thought to them getting it for the first 5 years because the doctor told me there was a less than 20% chance of it happening, basically not worth considering. If there was a family history (which there's not), perhaps I'd be more concerned.
I know the symptoms, have even read up on how they appear in children and teens, and if I suspected something I wouldn't hesistate to test them. But to date, I've never tested any of them.
I would say that unless you are seeing things that make you suspicious, just let it go. You sound like a conscientious mom, so I doubt you'd miss it if something were amiss.
