According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and other reputable health sources, it’s not recommended for children under 4 years old to participate in water activities such as drifting or sailing without proper supervision and safety measures.
At 2.5 years old, your child is still developing physically, cognitively, and emotionally. They may not have the necessary strength, coordination, or understanding of basic safety rules to engage safely in these types of activities.
Additionally, children at this age are more likely to lose their balance or get disoriented while on a drifting vessel, which can lead to accidents or injuries.
It’s recommended to wait until your child is around 4-5 years old and has developed sufficient physical and cognitive skills before introducing them to such water activities. You may also consider alternatives like swimming lessons, playing in shallow waters with adult supervision, or using aquatic toys designed for young children.
Remember to prioritize your child’s safety and well-being above all else!
