Grown-up conversation guide
Ask: “Can you think of a bird that doesn’t fly?” Penguins and ostriches are two examples. Find one together in a book or a trusted educational source. Explain that AI can give incorrect answers even when they sound confident.
Try it again: Let your child invent a claim. Find a way to check it together.
What should stay private?
Choose a detail that a child should keep out of an AI chat.
Grown-up conversation guide
Keep real names, addresses, school names, passwords, and personal photos out of these practice activities. Use made-up characters instead. Ask: “How could we change a real detail into a pretend one?”
Invent a marvelous helper.
- Draw a robot that helps with one everyday task.
- Give it one silly feature only you could invent.
- Tell a grown-up why you chose those details.
Extra challenge: Your grown-up suggests a new feature. Decide whether to keep it, change it, or leave it out. You are the designer.
Your ideas matter.
Ask: “Which part feels most like you?” An AI suggestion can be a starting point; your child still gets to make the creative choices.
