Lesson 1 · ~9 min

Age-appropriate use

You will be able to
  • Set rules by age
  • Know what's off-limits for kids

Younger kids benefit from the assistant indirectly: fewer missed practices, calmer mornings. Teens may want to use it themselves. Many AI services have minimum ages in their terms, so check the service's rules before giving a child their own access (varies by service).

Step by step

  1. Under 13: parents use the assistant; kids see results (chore lists, reminders).
  2. 13 to 17: check the service's terms; if allowed, agree on what it's for (planning, reminders, study help) and what it's not (contacting strangers, spending money).
  3. Keep spending, account changes and messages to adults outside the family with parents.
  4. Revisit the rules each school year.
Example

Gunnar (12) gets a Sunday checklist on the kitchen screen. Freya (15) asks the assistant to plan her study week, with a parent seeing the same calendar.

Checklist

Key points
  • Rules depend on age and the service's terms.
  • Kids benefit even without their own access.
  • Revisit yearly.

Lesson 2 · ~9 min

Homework help without doing the homework

You will be able to
  • Use AI as a tutor, not a ghostwriter
  • Respect school AI policies

AI can explain a math step or quiz a kid on vocab. It shouldn't write the essay. Schools have different AI rules, so check the syllabus or ask the teacher (varies by school).

Step by step

  1. Find your kid's school or class AI policy.
  2. Use prompts like "Explain this step" or "Quiz me on these 10 words," not "Write my essay."
  3. Have your kid explain the answer back in their own words.
  4. If a teacher says no AI for an assignment, that's the rule.
Example

Instead of 'solve 3x + 7 = 22,' your kid asks 'what's the first step and why?' and does the rest.

Checklist

Key points
  • Tutor, not ghostwriter.
  • School policy wins.
  • Explaining back proves learning.

Lesson 3 · ~8 min

Privacy for kids and family conversations

You will be able to
  • Protect kids' information
  • Talk about AI openly at home

Kids' grades, health and locations are sensitive. Share only what a routine needs, and talk with your kids about what the assistant sees.

Step by step

  1. Tell older kids what the assistant reads (for example, school emails and the calendar).
  2. Don't put kids' full names with birthdates, school IDs or health details into chats unless a routine needs them.
  3. Location-sharing apps: varies; decide as a family whether to connect them at all.
  4. Hold a short family talk: what feels helpful, what feels too much.
Example

The family agrees the assistant can see the calendar and school emails, but not Life360 locations.

Checklist

Key points
  • Share the minimum.
  • Be open with kids about it.
  • Location is a family decision.
