Is it possible to explain to say a child what the legacy of M.Thatcher was
in simple terms?

1. Making trade unions more democratic
2. Not allowing one sided nuclear disarmament.
3. Clearing out some of the influence of the old land owning classes.

Any others spring to mind?
Put the Great back in Britain.
Stopped us being called the "sick man of Europe" which we certainly were.
Got rampant inflation under control (remember 26% inflation?).
Got the countries finances under control.
Won three election the last with a bigger majority.
Bit the bullet and got rid of uneconomic industries that had only survived
with taxpayers money. (harsh but true)
Increased Industrial and coal production over her terms. (surprising to
some)
