My 2 Yorkies have been socialized around Children from the very beginning. Sammy the Papillon is a PM Rescue and I really have to watch him around children. I give them a little talk about sitting down to pet them and asking them to please not try and pick them up and keep their faces away from the dogs faces! When I'm out walking and they're in the stroller the kids come over to talk to them. I remove the mesh cover and let them 1 at a time pet the dogs. I keep my hand over Sammy's mouth in case he would snap! Even around my 3 yo GrandSon I watch if Sammy gets tired he just wants to be alone and Christopher knows to let him alone. I think it's good for kids to come up and talk to my gang, It's good for the kid's and for them!
