Always blame the kids! LOL I'm kidding!
Toto is also afraid of kids. Just the other day during our walk, Toto started growling at a kid going by on a scooter. I said "Toto no!" and this little girl ran up to him "OMG I HAVE A DOG NAMED TOTO TOO! SQEEEEEE!!!" And Toto freaked out and started barking hysterically and the girl ran off screaming. I thought it was pretty funny actually. But I try to have him avoid kids at all costs. Only bf's nephews are allowed to be around him but they are already 7 and 12 so they know how to behave. You cannot expect a 1 yr old to know how to behave around a small dog.
Unfortunately since they are not your children you have to be really careful not to step over the line of teaching/disciplining the kids. I'm thinking last time she got hurt and you didn't see it. So when you guys returned she got scared.
