In Spanish, "la familia" (the family) as a collective noun referring to a single unit takes the singular form of the verb when expressing a state. "Está" is used for temporary states and "es" for permanent characteristics. Here, being scared and nervous is a temporary state. Also, "es" and "son" are for the verb "ser" which is not appropriate in this context for expressing a temporary emotional - state. "Están" is plural. So the correct form is "está".
