What you'll learn

If AI is growing or shrinking your child's potential

What to look for when your teen uses AI to study, so you can have that conversation at home.

See how AI can erode your child's thinking

The science behind what happens to a developing brain when AI does the thinking for it.

How children over 13 can use AI tools to learn better

The prompts and habits that turn AI into a thinking coach, not an answer machine.

Why this topic matters

Most teenagers are already using AI to study, but few understand what it's actually doing to their thinking. Used without awareness, these tools can limit the very skills your child needs to thrive: critical thinking, creativity, autonomy. This session gives you in introduction on how you can use AI to help your child's development, not shrink it.
