The dot balls are the easy ones! I scored an under 8 match on Saturday. Favourite entry on the score card was a wide (2 runs) on which they than ran 2 more, then a poor throw meant they tried to scamper two over throws, but the none striker was run out (-5). Net total for the ball - 0 but not a dot.

The players from the batting side umpired when I played second XI cricket.
Application of the rules was sporadic at times.
Relax and remember you’re all there to enjoy it. Advise rather than enforce - if a player oversteps on their delivery, for example, they won’t learn much from conceding a no ball the first couple of times.
Also - do you really need to be marking every dot ball in the scorebook for u11 cricket? I’d say probably not.
