It may be misleading when "children" are generalized. Kuvasz may be fine with "their" children, but need to be closely supervised with "other" children. They will protect "their" children from others, ALL OTHERS. And may well take on smaller children as "theirs" almost upon meeting them. But the screams of delight of active children hard at play could be misunderstood by the dog as a reaction to threat or danger. This is especially true of a younger or inexperienced dog. It is best to put the dog in another room or outside away from the children during that kind of play time.

Fiction and folklore tell us to anticipate the perfect picture of dog protecting child. The Kuvasz is, above all, a protector. But confusion for the dog can occur depending on the circumstances. The damage that could take place is not worth the perfect image, for either dog or child. For this reason, with ANY dog, infants and toddlers must ALWAYS be closely supervised.
