Start with what your family needs today
Four clear paths for parents.
Each guide opens with the answer, then keeps warning signs, actions, conversation starters, and sources available when you need more detail.
Five principles children can remember
Stay in charge of AI.
- 01AI is guessing—really fast.
It predicts patterns. It does not understand what it says.
- 02Confident does not mean correct.
A polished answer can still be wrong.
- 03It is built to make you feel good.
Helpful often means agreeable.
- 04Assume prompts are not private.
Pause before you paste.
- 05You understand things AI never will.
Experience, empathy, and judgment still belong to people.

AI Toys: What Parents Should Know
Conversation guideConnected toys can collect a child’s voice, habits, and personal details while imitating friendship. Review privacy settings, test the toy together, and choose products that make recording and deletion policies clear.
How to Talk to Your Child About AI Fakery
PerspectiveChildren need a repeatable way to pause before trusting an image. Look for the source, compare coverage, reverse-search when possible, and talk about why a convincing image might have been made.
What’s the Rush to Embrace AI?
Families do not have to adopt every new tool immediately. Slowing down creates room to ask what the technology replaces, what information it collects, and whether it supports the child’s actual needs.
