Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know anything about AI to use this guide?
Not at all. This guide was written specifically for parents who don't have a tech background. Everything is explained in plain language. You need zero technical knowledge, just the willingness to have the conversation.
My child is 5. Isn't this too advanced for them?
Not at all. The guide starts at age 4 with incredibly simple, age-appropriate concepts, "machines are made by people and can be wrong." The age 4–6 section requires no prior knowledge from your child and takes about 10 minutes to introduce.
Is this about banning AI or restricting screen time?
No. This guide is explicitly not about restriction. It's about giving your child the critical thinking tools to use AI wisely. The goal is a child who is more capable, more discerning, and more confident, not one who is kept away from technology.
How long will it take to read?
About 20–25 minutes to read the whole guide. Most parents read just their child's age section first (5–8 minutes) and start the conversation that same day. The guide is intentionally short so it actually gets used.
