I have kids and very supportive of having yorkies with children. What came to mind immediately for me is, maybe the puppy is hesitant as it is so young and toddlers are louder, bouncier, they have big noisy toys...that's scary to a 2 pound little one who is very new to the world and probably has never seen a child before...do you know what i mean? I think their interaction should be only when your child is sitting on the floor and letting the puppy come to him when the puppy is ready. There should be absolutly no grabbing, no holding. Let your child have some treats in his hand and feed him gently. Real positive, calm interaction on the puppy's terms until he is comfortable with him.
