I have never taken my babies out of the house with the exception of vet visits till they are 6 months old with all shots, including rabies. Their bodies are just too small to fight off any kind of sickness they may pick up. But if you are going to take them out, I would just explain to the parents of the children that the puppy is really still too small and hasn't had all their shots so you would prefer that they not be handled. When my babies are older and I take them out, their usually on leash so I allow children to pet them, but no picking up, I would hate for them to be dropped, bones can be broken to easily.
