When parent-teen astronomy bonding becomes college application pressure

My teenage son and I started doing astrophotography together when he was going through a rough patch two years ago and it really helped us connect, but now he's obsessed with getting the perfect shots for his college applications and what used to be our quiet bonding time has become him stressing about camera settings and me feeling like I'm in the way of his ambitions.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A healing father-child practice has been overtaken by academic achievement pressure.
