What lesson is learned from father's anger at Kezia's mistake?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A child should not be punished without understanding the child’s feelings and intention
Kezia uses her father’s important papers to fill a pincushion for her grandmother, but she does not understand their importance and does not intend to destroy them. Her father sees only the damage, becomes angry, and punishes her. The incident shows why adults should first ask about a child’s intention and feelings before deciding on punishment. Thus, option A expresses the lesson of empathy and fair judgement. Option B removes the child’s chance to explain, while C treats fear as the best discipline without considering understanding. Option D is plainly false because Kezia’s mistake is accidental, not deliberate.
