Oh dear me 😔. Is it just outer branches broken? The main central stem still ok? Just keep eye on it. If in doubt I usually give my plants a little dose of seasol to help with shock. Place up higher or maybe inside for a while. @Allira

Main stem is ok but I'm still in shock let alone how the poor plant is feeling 😭😭😭 I have 5 boys under 6 so it doesn't matter where I put anything they will always get found. We are heading to the nursery today so I'll oick up some seasol and also some seaweed stuff. ... Spending spree lol.

It'll be fine. Soak it in a bucket of seasol/seaweed solution till the air bubbles stop rising. If any of the pieces they knocked off have some woodiness then you could try growing it.

Most of them are strong stems that have been knocked off. But I'll see what I can do and hopefully post a beautiful plant in a few weeks

I love fuchsias! I the advice you've gotten sounds good. If you can stick a hook in a beam or wall somewhere, maybe it'll be safer in a hanging basket. So funny trying to have a garden with energetic kids around. I have a feeling your fuchsia will be alright :)
