Summary

We're chatting with Stephanie about how to approach sailing with kids who experience anxiety. This is a topic dear to us as parents. Stephanie talks us through the strategies she uses to reduce anxiety for her kiddo; from preparing to sail, to onboard and other planning tips. We're so glad we can raise awareness about this important issue, and hopefully provide you with either some valuable tips for your own upcoming sailings, or how to think about parents who are experiencing these kinds of challenges as a part of their family vacations.
