Breeders and rescues have their own standards. I think personally they should meet the family and decide. I have three children (11, 8, and 3) and I have a 2lbs and a few ounces female. My previous baby was 3lbs before she passed.
We never had any problems. I taught my son how to handle her. They are gentle and are aware of her being around. No problems...knock on wood. Mind you my son is rambunctious like all 3 year olds. I know it can work you just have to teach everyone how to behave.
People have had problems/accidnets being adults with bigger yorkies. So just because someone has children I dont' think that is a flag to not sell to them.
Good luck on your search. There are some great breeders on here that will evaulate your situation and might feel comfortable with you and your family and sell you a pup.
