Won’t this put our child under additional pressure?
The approach takes pressure out. A child who has learned to handle a gust experiences it as a task rather than a threat. Capsizing is not failing, it is learning.

We do not demonise the phone. The real competence is the deliberate direction of attention. At the boat your child learns to set their own focus, and that self-steering transfers to how they handle the device. Sailing is analogue deep concentration without a notification.
Because you want your child to improve, and because we do not achieve that through pressure or through yet more physical training, but through self-regulation. The result is the same: safer, more focused, more capable. Only the route is different.
