I'm just going to throw it out there again because I like repeating myself. Vizsla or German Shorthair...maybe even a weim if you're feeling adventurous (not that they would be anything but great with kids - they can just be a PITA - luck of the draw).
Healers are tough (had two growing up), but they're not very big...and I wouldn't really categorize them as kid friendly.
I disagree on the weims. My uncle used to hunt bear with them (and a 45 pistol).
Vizsla or German Short Hair (slightly bigger) would be a great choice. I've had two...
