A guide for parents and caregivers of kids ages 10 to 15

Your Kid Is Using AI.
Now What?

You don’t need to know every AI tool. Start with the homework question in front of you.

Read the Chapter 4 preview Homework Help or Homework Replacement?

Free parent-review draft. Six conversation cards, a family activity and a homework checklist. No child AI account needed.

A place to start

Maybe a chatbot helped explain a tricky idea. Maybe it wrote the whole answer. Before you decide what to do, it helps to ask what the assignment is meant to teach and what the teacher allows.

This preview gives you words for that conversation. Read a card, adapt it to sound like you, and decide what to ask next.

How is it written and reviewed?

Claude helps draft the chapters, and a human decides what is shared. This is a parent-review draft, with outside review still pending. Read how the guide is made and what review covers.
