We’re leaving for a week-long beach vacation the day after the last day of school in May. My brother-in-law and his family are renting the cabin next door, and everyone is very excited. While it might seem a bit early to be preparing, my wife and I are both traveling for work in the weeks leading up to our trip, so we are getting things ready now.My daughter is 7 years old.
You might also try to strike a compromise, buying a big beach umbrella and a long-sleeved rash guard for her, promising that she can stay in the shade, but that she’s coming to the beach. That way she can feel protected, but no adult is missing out on the trip’s main activity by staying indoors with her.Finally, give the subject a rest. The more you try to probe and fix her anxiety, the more you might inadvertently build it up.
