Shomer negiah and kol isha with young cousins

Question:

Hi.
We are very close cousins.
I am curious regarding the halachos of Kol Isha, and Shomer negia with my 5 year & 8 year old boy cousions..

Thank you

Answer:

Hello,

Under the assumption that you are over 11 years old, both of these halachos would only apply from when they are age 9.

Best wishes
