What does empathy teach in the pin-cushion incident?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: One should also understand the child's intention and feelings

The pin-cushion incident teaches that an action should be judged together with the intention and feelings behind it. Kezia tore up her father's speech papers because she wanted to fill a pin-cushion and prepare a loving birthday gift; she did not understand the importance of the papers or intend to cause harm. Empathy therefore asks an adult to recognise the child's innocence, explain the mistake, and respond with guidance rather than immediate punishment. Option D is correct. Option A ignores her age and intention, while option B considers only material damage. Option C would remove communication and make the child's fear worse. The incident shows that understanding does not excuse the mistake, but it leads to a fairer and more caring response.
