Children are curious. You need to get a book or two about how to handle this situation, what is appropriate, what is not, without making a very big deal out of it.

The 6-year old is old enough to understand what is and what is not appropriate.

She's seven, she should know what is right and what is wrong, if you have taught her that is. I think you need to start teaching her about not exposing herself, only to you, and a doctor. But do not make a very big deal out of it. Kids are curious, but need to be taught right and wrong.

Probably simple curiosity. Make sure you explain to your 7 year old that our privates are called privates because they ARE private. With no exceptions other than mommy and the doctor (and even the doctor ONLY with mommy) and it is not for anyone else, even with her brother.

And let her know that if she has any questions, she can come to you. Let her know that you were her age too, and you know ALL about it, and she can ask anything.
