Section 1
The big idea
Most chatbots have age limits (13+ on ChatGPT, 13+ on most). Younger siblings sneak in with Mom's email. You can quietly steer them to kid-safe tools (Khan Kids, Khanmigo, KidGPT) and show them what to avoid. You're the older sibling who can prevent the disaster — that's actual power.
Some examples
- ChatGPT Terms of Service: 13+, with parental consent under 18.
- Khanmigo: built for kids by Khan Academy.
- Show them: don't share full name, address, school.
- Watch for the My AI in Snapchat — kids use it without realizing.
Try it!
Find one sibling under 13. Ask what AI tools they've tried. Show them Khanmigo or one kid-safe alternative. Modeling matters.
