The premise
A rehearsed parent stays calmer. AI can role-play the teen and surface lines you'll regret before you say them.
What AI does well here
- Role-play the teen's likely reactions including the worst case.
- Flag parent lines that escalate or shame.
- Suggest open-ended questions to replace lectures.
What AI cannot do
- Replace knowing your specific child.
- Resolve the underlying conflict.
- Predict actual emotional response in the moment.
