Family rules about AI work better when teens help write them. Here is how to be part of the conversation.
Rules that get handed down often get ignored. Rules that you helped write tend to stick. If your family does not have AI rules yet, suggest making them together.
Suggest a 30-minute family meeting about AI. Come with 3 ideas you want to talk about. See if your family wants to make some clear rules everyone agrees on.
Screen time fights usually go in circles because both sides feel unheard. AI can act as a neutral third party — listing what experts say, drafting compromises, and helping you make a real proposal instead of just complaining.
If you fight about screen time, ask AI to draft a fair proposal you can present at the dinner table calmly.
Teens get rules they had no input on — and break them. Rules teens helped design get followed. Propose: 'phone-free dinner' (everyone), 'no AI for graded essays' (you), 'parent can ask any time what I'm chatting with' (transparency). You give a little, you get a lot — usually freedom in areas that matter to you.
Write 3 family tech rules you could actually live with. Bring them to a parent this weekend. Negotiate one in.
