The premise
Top-down screen rules collapse. AI can facilitate a co-authored contract that includes the kids' voice.
What AI does well here
- Generate questions to elicit each family member's priorities.
- Draft contract language with natural consequences (not punishments).
- Suggest a review cadence so it's not permanent.
What AI cannot do
- Replace family conversation.
- Enforce the contract.
- Account for what kids do at friends' houses.
