Our head is like the command center for our body’s supercomputer! It sits high up on our shoulders so we can see, hear, and smell everything around us as well as possible.

Inside and on the surface of our head, there are many important things that help us live:

• Brain: Inside the skull is your brain. It is the boss of your body, controlling everything you do, think, and feel.
• Senses: Your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are all located on your head. Because they are up high, we can observe the world much better than if they were on our toes!
• Eating and breathing: Our mouth and nose are in our head so we can easily eat food and breathe fresh air.

This teaches us how smartly our bodies are built. Our head is a hard, bony helmet specifically designed to protect our most important treasure – our brain.

Imagine if your eyes were on your knees. You wouldn’t see much except other people’s shoes and maybe an occasional dog! Luckily, our head is safely up high, always ready to learn new things. 🧠💡
