What are disruptive events?

A disruptive event is something that changes everything suddenly, like when your favorite toy gets broken during playtime.

Imagine you’re building a tower with blocks, it’s tall and strong, and you're happy. But then, poof! A big block falls from the top, and everything tumbles down in seconds. That falling block was a disruptive event, it changed your whole game quickly.

Like When You Lose Your Rhythm

Think about when you’re dancing with your friends, all moving together to the same song. Suddenly, someone starts clapping to a different beat. At first, it’s confusing, but soon everyone changes how they move, the music and the dance are now different because of that one disruptive event.

A Real-Life Example

Sometimes, disruptive events happen in real life too. Like when a new store opens across from your favorite ice cream shop. At first, people might go to the new place, but soon they realize both shops have their own special treats, and now you have more choices!

Disruptive events are like surprises that shake things up, making everything feel fresh and exciting again.
