Izzy's Mom

Izzy has been exposed to almost everything during her first 4 months... I followed her vet instructions to show her the world but one thing we missed was to expose her to children.... Not sure if this has anything to do with her current behaviour but she is always scared of kids and now she barks at them.
On Saturday we were at the dog park and this family had a little girl, Izzy left my side to run where the little girl was and started barking at her. The mother of course gave me a dirty look and I apologized saying that Izzy is scared of kids and that's why she barks.
I dont know how to work on this. Most of my friends dont have kids so it's not like I can train Izzy and slowly expose her to. I noticed that the higher voice pitches and screams of the child will trigger Izzy to be scared and bark
Any idea on how can I address this problem?
