In how many ways can a family of six people be seated at a round table if the youngest kid must sit between the parents?

rotation are usually considered the same in question like this.

 

Seat the child anywhere to start the sequence     1 

Dad can be seated on either side.                         1*2

Mum sits on the other side                                     1*2*1

 

3 more people to sit.  They are A,B and C

A can side in 3 places, 2 seats left from B and only one place left for C

 

So I have

1*2*1*3*2*1 = 12 ways
