We taught kids the internet too late. Don't do that with AI.

Most 9-year-olds I talk to already use AI. They don't call it that. They call it "the homework site," a YouTube recap, or a chatbot that "helps me write."


We did this with the internet. We waited until there was a problem — a stranger, a photo, a grade that didn't match the kid — then we made rules. By then the habit was set.


AI is faster. It sounds like a person. It never gets tired of your child. And it will happily think for them if you let it.


Three things that actually work at 6–12:


  1. Say "guessing machine," not "smart computer." Fluency is not understanding.

  2. Nothing goes in a chatbot you wouldn't put on a cafeteria poster. Name, school, photos, family arguments — none of it.

  3. They try the hard thing first. Five minutes of being stuck is the point. Then, maybe, a tool.


If you want the full parent course, family rules sheet, and a place to ask "is this okay?" — that's what Tutorly is. Not tutoring. Literacy.


What's the first AI tool your kid already uses that they don't think of as AI?
