~154~"AI Parenting Tips for Parents of Teens: Overcome Guilt and Build Trust" with Mike Whitaker #AI

#ParentingTeens #TeenAI #AIParenting #FamilyThroughLinesIn this raw, honest conversation, host Cheryl Pankhurst sits down with Michael “Whit” Whitaker, author of Family Through Lines, to uncover:Why teens are secretly anxious about AI – homework help, friendship advice, and emotional support that feels like cheating.The three must‑have AI conversations every parent should have with their teen right now.Practical “waypoints” & the PAUSE protocol to help kids own their AI use, keep hard work, outsource with intent, and preserve human‑only spaces.How to replace guilt with clarity by building family “through‑lines” (core values that act like a compass).Key takeaway: You don’t need to be an AI expert—just start with curiosity, ask simple questions, and give your teen a safe, value‑driven framework to navigate AI.
