Worried AI is doing your child's thinking?

Practical, age-by-age guidance on what to allow, what to say, and how to teach your child to use AI without handing over the thinking. You don't need to understand AI. You already understand the most important part: your child.

Sound familiar?

If you're still working out the rules, you're not the only one

Am I letting them use it too much — or holding them back?
How would I even know if AI did their homework — or their homeschool lesson?
I barely understand AI myself. How can I guide them?
Everyone says something different. Who do I trust?
What if other children get ahead and mine falls behind?
Who is my child really talking to when they chat to it?

You don't need to become an AI expert. You need a clear way to decide when AI is helping — and when it isn't. That's what this kit gives you.

One idea runs through all of it

AI should support learning, not replace thinking.

Support means your child is still doing the thinking, and AI explains, checks or suggests.

Substitution means AI does the thinking while your child copies. Everything in the kit keeps your child on the right side of that line.

The THINK test

When is it OK to use AI? Five questions decide.

Run THINK before you say yes to AI for homework or a homeschool lesson. If the answers hold up, AI is helping your child learn. If they don't, it's doing their thinking — and you'll both know it.

T

Think first

What am I actually being asked to do here?

H

How did it help?

Did it explain, nudge — or just do it for me?

I

Is it accurate?

How could I check this?

N

Now make it mine

Can I explain it without looking?

K

Keep humans in the loop

Would I happily tell my teacher — or my parent — how I did this?

Soon they start asking the five questions themselves — so you don't have to police every AI decision.

The THINK Workbook turns the test into two weeks of practice, one letter at a time, with a card for the fridge.

"THINK is really such a cool and helpful concept. I first heard it on the webinar done by Lenise and Magnus, and it's such a useful tool to help ensure we are using AI correctly."
Heather, Pretoria

Who we are

A sister and brother, one kitchen table at a time

We're Lenise and Magnus. Lenise is a mom of four, raising children across homeschool and school. She's a nutritionist and a futurist, and she helps moms and their children use AI in real, practical ways. Magnus builds practical AI tools at How To AI.

Between us, we had the parenting and the technology. What we couldn't find was anything that told a parent what to actually do — so we made it.

"Raising kids in the age of AI requires a new kind of parenting."— Lenise

Questions

Before you buy

Do I need to understand AI?

No. The kit is written for parents, not programmers. You need to understand your child — and you already do.

Should a child under 13 use AI at all?

With you beside them, yes. Most AI services don't allow children their own account under 13, and UNESCO's guidance for classrooms draws the same line. The kit is aligned with it: under 13, your child uses AI with you, not alone. The By-Age Guide shows what that looks like at each stage.

What ages is it for?

From under 8 to 16 and over, in four stages. The ages are a guide rather than a rule: you move your child to the stage that fits them.

Is this about keeping children away from AI?

No. It's about letting them use it without letting it do their thinking — and knowing when it's helping and when it isn't.

How do I get it?

Straight after checkout you get a download link by email. Everything is a PDF you can read on your phone or print at home; the complete guide also comes as an ebook, and the prompts as a copy-ready text file.

Where in the world does it work?

Anywhere. The advice is about your child, not your country — though school rules and laws vary. The complete guide gives an overview of the child-privacy rules in the US, UK, EU, Australia and South Africa, as general information rather than legal advice. Prices are in US dollars, with any local tax included. In South Africa this page shows rand prices; the checkout charges the dollar equivalent, and your bank converts it.

Is it for homeschooling families?

Yes. The kit is written for families who homeschool as well as those whose children go to school. Super Prompts adds extra help for homeschoolers, with prompts for term plans, multi-age timetables and records.

What if it isn't right for us?

Email [email protected] within 14 days and we'll refund you in full. No questions.
