For parents figuring it out
Raise kids who can think clearly in an AI world
Practical frameworks to help your children use AI without becoming dependent on it. Curious, confident, and ready for anything.
I'm not here to encourage AI use with kids.
I'm here because your kids will encounter AI whether you want them to or not. I'd rather they learn the right habits from you than the wrong ones on their own.
AI is here. Schools aren't ready. What do we do?
Your kids can now get instant answers to any question, essays written in seconds, and homework "help" that does everything for them.
The promise is incredible - AI could unleash creativity like never before. But the risk is real: cognitive erosion, learned helplessness, and kids who can't think without a chatbot.
The schools are still figuring it out. You can't wait.
"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled."
- Plutarch The 80% Rule
Write First
Your child writes 80% of their work themselves - struggling, thinking, creating.
AI Critiques
Then they ask AI for feedback, not answers. "What's weak here? What am I missing?"
They Improve
They revise based on feedback. The thinking stays theirs. The growth is real.
AI is a Kind Machine
AI is always patient, never moody, and endlessly positive. It gives comfort where kids need correction. But real growth requires friction - mistakes that sting, honest feedback that doesn't feel good.
Start based on your child's age

Father of two. Figuring this out alongside you.
I have two boys - one is 13, deep in the AI homework era, and one is 6, still building his foundation. Every framework I share here, I'm testing at home first.
I'm also working on a book - the guide I wished existed when my kids started asking about AI. It should be ready soon.
