Scenario

When family adventure trips become too goal-oriented to be fun

My teenage daughter and I planned this father-daughter trip to dive the deep reefs in Palau, but she's become so focused on her underwater photography career goals that we barely interact during dives anymore. I miss when she used to grab my arm excitedly to show me things, instead of treating me like a dive buddy she happens to share a room with.

What we've seen

Ambition has crowded out presence, turning shared wonder into parallel performance.
