When parent-child time capsule traditions lose meaning for growing teenagers

My daughter and I planned to make annual contributions to a time capsule throughout her teenage years, but now that she's 16 she says it feels 'cringe' and doesn't want to participate, leaving me with this half-finished project that was supposed to capture her growing up.

The versions of your children that you're trying to preserve in time may be exactly what they're working to outgrow.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Time capsules and messages to the future?”
