Why we wrote it
For the dinner-table AI conversation.
Your kid asks the chatbot how much to charge for cookies. The chatbot gives an answer. You don't know if it's a good answer. This is the guide that tells you when to trust it and when to push back.
Every family is having this conversation now. Most are having it on hard mode — without a shared vocabulary, without house rules, without a clear sense of where AI helps and where it hurts.
The guide is short on purpose — six short sections and a one-page set of house rules. The point isn't comprehensive. The point is enough to start.
Your kid is going to ask AI things. This is how you keep that good.
Six short sections + a one-page set of house rules. Print it. Stick it on the fridge. Have the conversation once instead of fifty times.
