I may go about it slightly differently if the child wasn't Muslim, but I think it is pretty much the same. My son has always seen mommy wear the scarf so it is pretty common place in my home.... I basically told them that women in Islam cover their hair to keep it a secret. That God made us all have different hair.. some long, some short, some red, some brown. So, as a gift to our husbands and our children and family... we save it only for them to see. As they get older and I thought they better understood our faith then I explained that God wants us to be judged for who we are and not what we look like. As women in this society we are judged by our beauty and that God wanted us to be treated fairly so he asked of us to cover our hair and bodies so that we can only be judged for our brains and actions. My son was able to understand this at a fairly young age, maybe around 6 or 7, but not all kids can. Hope this helps!

Why do the worshipers cover their heads?

Why DO worshippers cover their head? Well, most people infer that only Muslims cover their head with their scarf. Which is false. In the Hindu religion, in many certain times, they also must cover their head with a scarf. As well as the Christain religion. Especially Indian Christains who take the Holy Communion. They all cover their head because they want to commit everything to their Lord and they all want to prove their modesty and their honesty.
