Default Not Good With Kids

We've had Punkin for just over a month now and our nephew came to stay overnight on the weekend. Punkin did not react well at all. She barked and growled to the point where I had to put her in another room when he first got there. She peed all over the floor (dribbled I should say). We ended up having to put on her harness and leash. Punkin would do well for a while and then she would get all upset about him again - for what seemed like no apparent reason.

What was really scary was she started to nip at his pant legs and when he was putting on his shoes she grabbed his shirt from behind.

When our nephew would play with her she loved it - she would fetch etc and was well behaved. Then he would be setting at the table and she would grab his pant legs and show aggression.

Our poor nephew was discouraged (he's 9). We're not sure what to do - except stay clear of kids until we can start obedience classes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
