1. A parent wants to use AI to analyze their child's weekly screen-time export. What should the AI be asked to produce that aligns with this approach?

   1. Per-week trend graphs with specific conversation-opening questions
   2. A judgment about whether the child uses too much screen time
   3. A list of apps the child should delete immediately
   4. A ranking of apps from most to least educational

2. Why is it important that AI-generated questions for family conversations are openers rather than directives?

   1. AI is not capable of generating directives
   2. Directives are too time-consuming to compose
   3. Directives are more effective for behavior change
   4. Openers reduce the likelihood of escalation and keep the conversation relational

3. According to this approach, what is a fundamental limitation of using AI to analyze screen-time data?

   1. AI cannot access screen-time export files
   2. AI cannot determine what limits are appropriate for a specific family's values
   3. AI cannot generate trend graphs
   4. AI cannot accurately categorize apps by purpose

4. What might happen if children become aware that AI is sorting and categorizing their app usage history?

   1. They will appreciate the categorization for self-reflection
   2. They may find ways to circumvent the tracking
   3. They will likely become more honest about their usage
   4. They will automatically reduce their screen time

5. What does the lesson identify as the 'relational act' that AI cannot replace?

   1. Generating trend graphs
   2. Exporting screen-time data from devices
   3. The family's conversation about screens and trust
   4. Categorizing apps by purpose

6. A parent considers using AI-sorted screen-time data to prove their teenager is lying about device use. Based on this lesson, what is the primary concern with this approach?

   1. AI data should be shared with the school first
   2. Using data to 'win' conversations undermines the relational purpose and may cause routing around the sort
   3. The data might be inaccurate
   4. Teenagers cannot be trusted with any device access

7. When AI categorizes apps by purpose (creation, social, video, school), what is the intended benefit for family conversations?

   1. To replace the need for any conversation
   2. To shift discussion from totals to specific app purposes and habits
   3. To determine which apps should be banned
   4. To reward children for educational app usage

8. Why does the lesson suggest focusing on specific apps rather than total screen-time numbers during family discussions?

   1. Specific apps provide more actionable conversation topics and reduce defensiveness
   2. Total numbers are always accurate and therefore not useful
   3. AI cannot calculate totals accurately
   4. Parents should only discuss apps used for more than two hours

9. What type of analysis does the lesson suggest AI can perform well with screen-time exports?

   1. Categorizing app usage by purpose and generating trend graphs
   2. Predicting future screen-time addiction
   3. Deciding which apps are 'good' or 'bad'
   4. Determining appropriate bedtimes based on usage

10. A parent asks AI to decide what screen-time limits should be set for their child. What does the lesson indicate about this request?

    1. This is an appropriate use of AI recommendations
    2. AI should set limits higher to avoid conflict
    3. AI is well-suited to determine appropriate limits
    4. AI cannot make this decision because it requires understanding family values and the specific child

11. What is the primary purpose of showing week-over-week change in screen-time data?

    1. To identify which child used the device the most
    2. To compare siblings against each other
    3. To determine punishment for increased usage
    4. To create context for a conversation about trends rather than static numbers

12. Why might focusing exclusively on screen-time totals during family discussions be counterproductive?

    1. Totals are never accurate
    2. AI cannot calculate totals
    3. Totals often lead to defensive reactions and don't provide actionable information about habits
    4. Parents should only focus on totals

13. What warning does the lesson provide about children learning that AI is categorizing their app history?

    1. Children will likely accept the categorization willingly
    2. Children will immediately reduce all screen time
    3. Children will route around the sort
    4. Children will appreciate the organization

14. What role does the lesson assign to AI in the family screen-time conversation process?

    1. AI should lead the family conversation
    2. AI should make binding decisions about limits
    3. AI should monitor children continuously
    4. AI should serve as an analytical tool that enables but does not replace family discussion

15. Why is it important that AI categorizes apps by purpose rather than just listing them alphabetically?

    1. Alphabetical sorting is impossible for AI
    2. Categorizing by purpose (creation, social, video, school) enables meaningful conversations about how time is spent
    3. Purpose categorization is required by law
    4. AI cannot determine app purposes accurately
