I just think with a big yorkie pup or a smaller one the parent needs to be consistant. The kids no matter the age will understand sooner or later. My kids did not mishandle our little male yorkie and he was 1 lb. I had a guest (adult) he carried the female yorkie that we had and he dropped her on the tile floor! He had no idea how to hold her and she had a painfull fall. The guy was like 6'4" tall! She was not seriously hurt and was fine after a few minutes but my heart almost popped out of my chest when I saw this happen!
The main thing I taught my kids was to ALWAYS be sitting on the ground when holding the puppy.The puppy was always in a seperate room with a gate . Until the pup got bigger,now full grown at 3 lbs.
