Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Please understand, they are children. They do not know anything about sex or genital organs. Development procedure says that children gets pleasure by fondling their genital area. That is not equivalent to sexual advances. But these adventures needs to be controlled. Training to control such things can be given at home. Training using Rewards and punishments is best suited to bring desired behavior in children. Warn them about such misadventures. Teach them how to behave properly. Reward them if they comply and punish them whenever they deviate. That works. No need of psychological counseling now. You can do that yourself.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
