Sophie Kate has never bitten a child but I can tell you from experience she is not a fan of all kids. I have some rules with kids when it comes to her for both her protection and theirs.
I feel it is very important that with a child (or anyone new) when they approach the dog they give the dog a chance to either ignore them or give them a "sniff". A person should never make an assumption that a dog is friendly and reach for it even if it is to pet. I have that issue a lot with strangers they feel really comfortable petting Sophie Kates head, she prefers her back to be petted.
I would let the dog approach the child with adult supervision, let them both see if they want to build a relationship.
