You acted out of adrenaline (fight response) totally understandable. You can explain it to your kid (when a person feels attacked Hashem made our bodies gear up to protect ourselves and shuts down our reasoning) maybe he will stop scaring ppl.

The same thing happened to me once. My son was probably 10 at the time. He jumped in front of me and yelled boo in my face. I was so startled that I slapped him in the face. HARD. He was also shocked. But as soon as my heart stopped poundings I told him I’m sorry and that I obviously didn’t mean to hurt him but if you’re going to scare the c*ap out of someone then they are going to react. And that reaction might be a slap in the face. We laughed about it and he learned his lesson.

Is it overkill to drop off a treat for him at school? It's on my way to work. Just so that he knows I love him and I'm thinking of him... or is that too dysfunctional? |
I think it can make him feel insecure. He needs to see you as confident and capable. You need to get reassurance from inside you that you are ok, not from him.
