I have 3 children (12, 9 and 4) and no problems...my Zoey fully grown now is 2lbs and 13ozs. I don't let them carry zoey. If they want to hold her they sit down on the floor and she can cuddle up on their laps. With any smaller dog (under 10lbs) you have to be careful...it's not impossible. Not only children hurt the dogs but an adult can accidentally hurt the dog. So it just boils down to watching where you step and teaching your children the right way to handle the dog.
