Parents/Caregivers
Human-Centred AI for Parents and Caregivers
AI is already part of how children learn, search, write, create, communicate, and prepare for their futures.
Many parents are trying to understand AI at the same time their children are already using it. That can feel overwhelming.
This session helps parents move confidently from confusion to clarity, and from worry to practical guidance. And while you do not need to become an AI expert, you do need to become an important part of the conversation.
Your child may know more about the technology, but you enrich their experience with it as you bring life experience, judgement, perspective, and values to their choices, voice and agency.
Human First ~ AI Second
It’s been commonly said with AI that there needs to always be the ‘human in the loop.’ Nowhere is this more relevant than to the development of our children’s use of AI.
AI can help children explain ideas, study, brainstorm, organize thoughts, and get unstuck. But it can also weaken learning when it does too much, too soon.
Parents will learn:
- What AI is, in plain language
- How children may already be using AI at school and at home
- How to tell when AI supports learning and when it replaces learning
- How to talk about AI without panic, accusation, or shutdown
- How to help children use AI for learning without losing effort, independence, honesty, or their own voice
- Simple family habits for checking information, setting expectations, and knowing when to involve a trusted adult
- How AI can affect well-being, confidence, privacy, relationships, and the importance of real-world connection
- Real-time AI demonstrations and practical exercises to help parents turn everyday AI use into opportunities for learning, good judgement, and family conversation.
A message for parents/caregivers:
AI can provide a child with unlimited responses to their prompts. But it cannot raise a child.
Children still need parents, caregivers, teachers, coaches, mentors, and trusted adults to help them build judgement, confidence, honesty, and responsibility.
Format: 60-minutes plus Q&A (Zoom or in-person).
