AI+ Parents
Raise Confident, Safe and Curious Kids in the Age of AI
You'll always be a step behind your kids on the tools. Here's how to stay ahead on the judgement.
Your children are already using AI — for homework, chatbots, the apps they live in — and you're a step behind, unsure where the real risks are and where the panic is overblown. This book closes that gap. It gives you the GUIDE Framework for guiding a child's AI use at any age, the Tutor Test for the cheating question, a family safety reference card for deepfakes and companions, and a 30-day family plan. Built by an AI engineering firm for parents who want to stay the trusted guide to their child's world — not a bystander to it.
Inside
- 29 ready-made family prompts: homework tutoring, meal planning, tricky conversations, safety talks, and admin
- The GUIDE Framework — scaffold your child's AI use at any age, from co-use to independence
- The Tutor Test — a one-question rule for telling AI homework help from cheating
- A family safety reference card for deepfakes, AI companions, scams, and how to respond
- A 30-day family plan to go from anxious bystander to confident, involved guide
Who this is for
Parents and carers of school-age children (roughly ages 5–18) who want to help their children use AI safely and well — and who are also encountering AI in their own daily life. Range from AI-curious to AI-anxious. Many use AI a little at work or have tried ChatGPT; few have a considered position on what their children should be allowed to do with it. They are competent adults making judgement calls with incomplete information, often a step behind their own children on the technology.
Also for:Grandparents and other carers in a guardianship role; foster carers and kinship carers; step-parents; family support workers and parenting-group facilitators; teachers and school pastoral staff who field parent questions about AI at home (the home-side companion to T2-11 / T2-12, which cover the school side).
You’ll be able to
- Apply the PRISM Prompting Framework to everyday family tasks — meal planning, scheduling, correspondence, learning support — and teach a child to write clear, effective prompts
- Apply the GUIDE Framework to scaffold a child's AI use appropriately to their developmental stage, moving from co-use to supervised use to graduated independence
- Distinguish AI-assisted learning from academic dishonesty and set workable homework boundaries that support learning rather than shortcut it
- Identify and respond to AI-specific online harms — deepfakes, AI companion chatbots, AI-crafted scams and misinformation — and protect children and family data using the AI Safety Checklist (GUARD) and a family safety reference card
- Build and run a 30-day family AI plan with agreed household rules and graduated-independence milestones
