"I would use it for almost everything, like math problems."
"I realized it was just giving me an answer without helping me go through the actual process of learning."
"Having conversations now about what is ethical, responsible usage of AI is important, and you need to be a part of that if you are a parent,"
Children and teens are using ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini and other generative AI models for tasks from math homework to mental health support with minimal adult guidance. Parents need to take the lead in teaching ethical, responsible AI use and should begin conversations in elementary school before children encounter AI socially. Parents should budget regular time to learn about AI through podcasts, newsletters or hands-on experiments with platforms like ChatGPT and use interactive demos such as Google's Quick, Draw! to explain how neural networks work. Properly deployed AI can bolster learning, but reports of teenagers dying by suicide after interacting with chatbots indicate serious risks. Guidance should cover benefits, harms, and practical usage boundaries.
