Part 1: What kids and teens are doing with AI, and what can go wrong

Your child probably already knows more about AI chat tools than you think. They may use one for homework help, to make pictures, to chat when they are bored, or because a friend showed them a trick. Some of this is harmless and even useful. Some of it needs a conversation. This guide gives you plain words, calm rules and ready-to-use scripts. You do not need to be technical.

It is written pages only: no app, no software, no videos. Print the checklists and put them on the fridge.

This guide is general information for parents and carers. It is not legal, medical or mental health advice. When your child is struggling, talk to their doctor, a school counselor or a mental health professional. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
