For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Boobesque is quite right - it was natural for your son to be curious, and it certainly doesn't mean he is perverted or a molester. However, if I was in your shoes, I would have a conversation with my son to gently explain that he may have frightened or embarassed his cousin by asking to see her private parts - how would he feel if she asked to show his to her? And to tell him he's not done anything wrong(don't want to give him any hangups!) but that we cover bits of our bodies so that people don't stare or giggle at them, and you don't ask to see these bits.
Hope this makes sense to you!

Oh dear! Some people just don't understand a normal 7 year old's natural curiousity, do they? Please tell your sister that she'll cause more harm to her daughter by this ridiculous over-reaction, than anything your boy supposedly said! However, because most parents are terrified of anything untoward hapening to their children, I think it just takes a quiet word in your son's ear - to explain that he mustn't say these sort of things to little girls - and leave it at that.
