Setting Emotional Boundaries with AI
When your child starts treating AI like a friend, counsellor, or confidant, it is time to have a conversation. These scripts and tools help you navigate those moments with empathy.
Boundary-Setting Scripts
Select a situation your child has expressed, toggle the age group, and get practical scripts for responding with empathy. Each includes what they might be feeling, what NOT to say, and what TO say.
When to Talk to a Real Person
An interactive decision flowchart to help you determine whether your child's question or concern is appropriate for AI — or whether they need a real human conversation.
Children naturally form attachments. The fact that your child feels connected to AI is not a failure — it is developmentally normal. Your role is to help them understand the difference between a tool that simulates understanding and the real humans who truly care about them.
