What breed type is your dog? Is it prey motivated? Some terriers can't be kept with birds because the danger of the birds being harmed. If your dog knows basic comands like "stay" or "leave it" you probably won't have a problem as long as they are supervised when they are together.
A bigger bird (not a budgie, finch, parrotlet, etc.) might be a better choice for your family. Small birds get lost easier, can generally fly better, and could potentially get into trouble with your younger son or dog.
Cockatiels are such great birds! They aren't too big or too small, they don't make a lot of noise, they are sweet, usually get along with kids (who respect them), and they are easy to find. One of my first birds was my cockatiel Lady. I've had her for 10 years now, and she still hasn't bitten me. She nibbles sometimes, but it doesn't hurt. She isn't a one person bird; she will eagerly hop onto anyone's finger--kid or adult. The only drawback is that they aren't good for allergy sufferers because of thier dander.
If you don't mind a lot of loud noise, a well socialized conure might be a good choice. They are upbeat, always moving parrots. Some of the smaller ones like green cheeked conures can be nippy when they are young, but they love to snuggle and play!
As for caiques, they are beaky birds which could scare your children. They usually don't have any intention to bite, they just nibble and use their beak like a third foot.
