Regarding kids, my 6 year old gets queasy sometimes. We were out this weekend motoring home into 20 knots against current for 3 hours. I had 5 kids on board so I thought a movie down in the v-berth would help the trip pass more easily (for them and me.) They kids were in the v-berth trying to watch the movie but the boat was moving so much the movie was skipping.
No kids got sick!! How? Well I said as we left, does anyone want a spicy candy? They all did (it was a ginger candy). Second I told my wife to NOT say anything like "if you feel sick come up and watch the horizon"...I thought it was better to wait and watch and not get them thinking about it.
The seas (lake) calmed down a while out but still not talking about it and ginger seemed to work.
Good luck
