She nipped because she was anxious or fearful of them and senses that they are not in control of themselves, loud, somewhat spastic in their actions and behavior, don't sit around or move predictably as adults do but act impulsively and she is unsure of what they might do next. As most - not all - but most small dogs not raised around children are very careful/protective of themselves and anxious around children or loud, rambunctious people, I would just tend to keep her from them unless you want to have a well-behaved, calm child in the house daily for a while to totally avoid her at first with no eye contact or touching, sit and toss out treats to her to get and in a few days time to walk around and and drop treats and still not interact with your dog at all until and if she begins - in a month or so - to slowly approach the child on her own, once she's learned to trust. Then and only then can the child hand the dog treats directly and in time begin to pat her on the flank or back and slowly begin to interact in play, still treating her from time to time. Then she will need to be around a child a few times a month to keep up her new associations.


But most Yorkies, unless they are around children quite often monthly or are very calm, submissive type personalities, don't care that much for children. It's the norm rather than the exception in my experience.
