THE CHILD WHO DIDN'T KNOW SORRY

Although 'The child who didn't know sorry' was only only 5 lines it was one of my favourites.

I felt I could really relate to this piece being an older sister and have younger cousins and nephews, I have been in situations where I have had to tell them to say sorry for one reason or another.

This scene is not like a normal conversation where the child doesn't want to say sorry because they do not want to. This child can't the reason being she literally doesn't know how to feel sorry for something she's done or something that has happened,"I don't feel sorry." and I feel as the character of her mum I do not understand this or believe that she doesn't feel sorry and feel that she must say it in order to put things right.


There are a few way in interpreting this:

  • Taking a calm approach to the situation and try to compromise with the child by genitally telling her "but you knows you hurt him".
  • Or going over the top with it and not stopping at nothing till she says sorry. Getting quite frustrated at the fact she will not say sorry.
