If you can ask for a seat with extra leg room, that will give them extra space. Prepare as much as you can (snacks, toys, blankets, and anything that bring the kids comfort) but don’t stress because sometimes adults have bad flights too.

When my daughter was younger she got to pack her own backpack with toys, snacks, coloring books, etc. I would also download a movie or two that she hadn't watched yet to her ipad to kept her occupied not only during long flights but during layovers as well.
