Your Teen's First AI Relationship: What Parents Must Know About AI, Schools & Emotional Development
Is AI helping or hurting our kids?
Education and technology expert Anya Kamenetz joins the AI Parenting Institute to cut through the fear and hype around artificial intelligence in childhood.
In this eye-opening conversation, we explore:
1. The shocking story of a 9th grader's first AI relationship (and breakup)
2. Why generational justice matters more than ever in the AI age
3. How to balance screen time when AI is infinitely engaging
4. What schools should teach when AI can provide all the answers
5. The ethics of AI in education: cheating vs. learning tool
6. Social-emotional development in an age of AI companions
7. Practical scenarios: when to say yes or no to AI in family life
Anya Kamenetz is the author of "The Art of Screen Time" and a leading voice on education, technology, and childhood development. She writes The Golden Hour on Substack and has been guiding families through tech transitions for years.
This isn't about banning technology; it's about empowering families to thrive alongside it.
