Worry about the children (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brood

I believe this is a double definition.

'worry' is the first definition.
('brood' can be a synonym of 'worry')

'the children' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'about' is the link.

(Other definitions for brood that I've seen before include "Family of young birds" , "Collection of chickens" , "Ponder - family" , "Hatch" , "Offspring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
