Everything you need to help your daughter explore AI safely and confidently — from setting up accounts to building a healthy weekly creative routine.
Establish these rules together before she starts creating online. Frame them as empowering choices, not restrictions — she is in control of her own privacy and safety.
Post together, always. Until she is at least 13 and has demonstrated consistent good judgment, every post should be reviewed and approved by you before it goes live. Make it a fun ritual, not a chore — sit together, pick the best content, write the caption together, and post it as a team.
Parent tip: Review every post before it goes live. Check photo backgrounds for identifiable landmarks like school signs or street names.
Parent tip: Revisit privacy settings every 3 months — platforms update their defaults regularly and settings can reset after app updates.
Parent tip: Establish a 'no secrets' rule: anything that happens online can be shared with you. Make it a safe, judgment-free conversation.
Parent tip: Check in weekly about how social media makes her feel. Watch for signs of anxiety around posting or obsessing over engagement metrics.
Ask these casually — during dinner, in the car, or before bed. Keep it light and curious, not interrogative.
"What's the most fun thing you made with AI this week?"
"Did anything online make you feel uncomfortable or confused?"
"What's one thing you wish you could do better with AI tools?"
"Did you see any content this week that seemed mean or unkind?"
"What do you want to create next week?"
"How do you feel when you post something and it gets a lot of likes? And when it doesn't?"
