AI did not come with a parenting manual. This is the closest thing.
Your child is already using artificial intelligence, and almost certainly more than you think. It finishes their sentences. It decides what they see next. It answers their homework questions in seconds. And for a majority of teenagers, it now offers something that sounds a great deal like a friend at three in the morning.
You do not need to become an expert to parent well through this. You need judgement, a small number of rules you will actually keep, and language for the conversations nobody has prepared you for.
AI-Ready Kids is a calm, practical guide for parents who want neither a total ban nor a shrug. It is built for the Tuesday night when the homework looks too good, the group chat turns, or a child says the words I think I did something stupid.
What you will be able to do after reading it:
- Explain AI to your child in one sentence, at any age, without pretending to understand more than you do.
- Draw a homework line that actually holds — and answer the "but a calculator is a machine too" argument properly.
- Protect the thinking so a child who finishes fast still learns something.
- Recognize sextortion, deepfakes and voice-cloning scams — and know exactly what to do in the first hour, before anything is deleted.
- Handle AI companions and the pull of a friend who never disagrees.
- Deal with school — including the day detection software accuses your child of something they did not do.
- Build family rules that survive an ordinary week, and supervise without destroying trust.
Every chapter ends in something you can do this week. The book includes a one-page family agreement, conversation starters by age, a household audit, and an emergency page for the night something has already gone wrong.
It also refuses to frighten you. Panic makes parents over-restrict, and over-restricted children go quiet — which is the opposite of safety. The most protective thing in any house is a parent who can be told bad news.
Every source in this book is real and was checked during writing. Where the evidence is thin, disputed, or based on a small sample, the book says so.
Your child is going to grow up with this technology. This is how you make sure they grow up able to think without it.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
