How We Look From the Outside — 3 Simple Rephrasings for a 7-year-old

Here are three easy ways to say the same question so a 7-year-old can understand:

1. What does our body look like on the outside?
2. What do people see when they look at our bodies?
3. How do we look to others — like our hair, face, and clothes?

Quick steps to help you think about the answer:

1. Look at the head: hair, eyes, nose, mouth, and smile.
2. Look at the body and clothes: tall or short, what clothes we wear, and our skin color.
3. Look at the arms, hands, legs, and feet: big or small, what we can do with them.
4. Look at how we stand and move: our posture and expressions tell others how we feel.

Use any of the three rephrases when you want to ask about or describe how someone looks from the outside.
