AI and Our Families

60-minute guide for parents to navigating the new digital world in your family

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming part of everyday family life, from school assignments and learning apps to social media, entertainment, and online content. Many parents and guardians are left wondering how to keep up, how to protect their children, and how to ensure AI is used in ways that genuinely support learning and wellbeing.

This 60-minute workshop for parents and guardians is designed to provide clear, practical, and balanced guidance on navigating the digital world of AI within the family. The session focuses on real-world use, ethical considerations, and digital safety, without fear-based messaging or technical complexity.

Rather than positioning AI as something to be avoided, this workshop helps families understand how AI can be used thoughtfully, safely, and responsibly, both at home and in school settings.
