Have the youngest sit first, then the next youngest, and so on. The first person has 5 choices. No matter where the first person sits, the next person has 4 choices. No matter where the first two people sit, the third person has 3 choices. The fourth person then has 2 choices. Therefore, there are $5\cdot 4\cdot 3\cdot 2=\boxed{120}$ ways for the four people to sit.
