Welcome to YT. IMO unless you get a large yorkie, it would be best not to get one, as they are very small. I have 3 kids but waited to get my yorkie until they were older, as to make sure the dog didn't get hurt. I think they would be great with kids, but would be afraid that young children would accedently hurt a yorkie. If you did get one, I would never leave the dog in the same room with a young child unattended.

Good luck with your decision! How about a Westie? They are so similar, but more sturdy and larger (up to 20 lbs or so). I have one of each and love them both. They are great breeds of dogs.
