After wards find yourself a calm quite willing kid ( who's parents says OK) who loves candy and click and treat.
So you get the kid to sit in a room far away from your little one.
If pup is stressed increase space even in other room but in sight.
if pup is calm click and treat pup and kid for being good and call it time.
Next time bring kid and pup closer and a wee little longer in time length and click and treat both.
Keep going till both can sit in close proximity and no one is stressed.
Why are you treating and clicking the kid two reason one you want kid calm and to you want kid to come back.
Can work in park with you just working dog end of it but you run the risk of a kid getting inside the dogs stressed out zone to fast and without notice.

Joy, WHAT a great idea!! I am going to try to clicker train my 2 and 4 year old grandsons!!
My Angel hated kids. I could never trust her around children. With her it wasn't fear so much as aggression. I wish you the best of luck in your quest to socialize your pup. You may want to try taking her with you when you go out, slowly...
