Welcome to AI Parenting Guide: Let’s Navigate AI Together

Ever caught your teen asking ChatGPT to whip up an essay while you’re just trying to get dinner on the table? Guilty as charged over here. I’m Ed, dad to two teenagers who’ve turned “quick chats” with AI into an art form. I’m not here to preach or panic. I’m just a parent like you, figuring out how to steer my kids through this tech-packed world. That’s why I started AI Parenting Guide, and I’m excited you’re along for the ride.

Every Tuesday, you’ll get a short, straight-to-the-point email from me. Think of it as your weekly dose of practical advice to help your children use AI safely and smartly, without losing their ability to think for themselves.

A little about me: I’m a dad who uses ChatGPT and others tools every day, whether it’s brainstorming dinner ideas or untangling a work problem. My teens use it too, mostly for homework, and I’ve learned it’s a fantastic tool when managed right. It can spark ideas or explain tricky concepts, but I draw the line at letting it do all the work.

It’s like training wheels. Great for support, but they’ve got to pedal themselves. And let’s be real: stopping them (or anyone) from using AI? Not happening. It’s everywhere, and it’s here to stay. So, my goal is to help us all use it wisely instead.

Here’s what you can look forward to each week:

• Tips to set AI boundaries that don’t spark a rebellion.

• Tools that are fun, safe, and actually worth their time.

• News on the latest AI stuff that affects your kids—explained so you can chat about it with them.

• Insights on keeping the balance between help and handing over their brain.

Next week, we’ll kick things off with “🤖 AI 101: What Every Parent Needs to Know About Their Child’s Digital Future“, a simple way to talk to your kids about it. For now, hit reply and let me know: What’s your biggest AI headache as a parent? I’d love to hear from you.

Cheers,
Ed
