What should I tell my kids never to share with AI?
Get a short, clear list of things kids should keep private from any AI.
Kids love to chat and ask questions. That curiosity is wonderful.

Tell them never to type their full name, home address, school, or phone number into AI.
Remind them that you are always there to help. They can ask you anytime they feel unsure.
