Getting children involved
Hi Mike,
You also might "assign" them jobs that they are responsible for while underway. For example, coiling the docklines and putting them away. Start them with small things that they can handle. Praise them with lots of love and smiles and let them take the tiller or wheel to get a feel for "sailing the boat". I let my niece at the age of three take the tiller (light wind day) and she is now 7 and loves sailing with her Aunt. They might take more of an interest in sailing if they are made to feel a part of the crew.
