Homework In The Age of AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Artificial intelligence can write the essay, solve the math problem, summarize the chapter, and brainstorm the science project. But if AI helps our children produce better work, does that necessarily mean they’re learning more? In this episode of The Parenting 411 Podcast, I explore one of the newest challenges showing up around the homework table: helping children use AI without allowing it to do the thinking for them. We don’t want to make AI the villain, nor do we want to take on the role of
Kids Are Reading Less (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our children are consuming more information than ever—but are they spending enough time slowing down, thinking deeply, and making sense of what they encounter?

Screentime for Babies and Toddlers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of The Parenting 411 Podcast, I discuss renewed concerns about screen time for babies and toddlers. A new UK review recommends no intentional screen use for children under two due to risks to development, health, sleep, language, bonding, emotional regulation, and long-term quality of life.
