What is the main message of empathy in The Little Girl?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Children's feelings and fears should be understood

The central message of empathy in The Little Girl is that children’s feelings, fears, and intentions should be understood instead of being judged only by their outward behaviour. Kezia initially sees her father as frightening because she notices his stern manner but cannot recognise the love behind it. Her experience during the nightmare gradually changes that understanding. Therefore, option C is correct. The story does not teach that children must always remain silent, nor does it present punishment as the best solution. Option D is also too absolute: Macdonald provides a contrasting example, but the lesson is not that every father must behave identically. The broader principle is to listen to children, recognise their emotional needs, and respond with patience, affection, and understanding.
