Research!
@Appleblossom
I have a slight theory... I was already in a triggered state and so it very much wasn't a "healthy adult" moment, rather the fragile composure I have while triggered that gets me out and safe came crashing down when the vortex toy hit my jawbone (the kid has a solid arm on him).
The shock of the toy hitting "wasn't in the plan" and so I got angry and reacted, just wanting the toy far away from me, yet there were adults around so didn't want to be cruel to the boys. I succeeded in freaking out the boy who had threw it, he got scared it would land on the roof, I'm a better throw than that.
I was thankful my friend was there to help me emotionally regulate. She consoled me out of the shock and listened to me express the trigger.
Does that make sense?

Glad to see you @Friday06 🙂 I'm wrappying up soon, but others are still online... esp those that live on the far west of Australia!

Yes it makes sense @avant-garde . Most important is that you make sense of it. Kids can be boisterous, which ain’t great for church. I found one of our supply ministers interesting the way he managed some questionable behaviour, last year. Some people have the knack… to be relaxed and inclusive, but firm when it matters.
Good night everyone @Blackcloud @tyme @MissGremlin @Former-Member @AuntGlow
