from AI and Your Homeschool Podcast · host Nancy Manos

How do we prepare our children for a future shaped by AI without outsourcing the skills that matter most? Dr. Seann Dikkers joins Nancy to explore what it means to raise discerning children as AI becomes more woven into everyday life. Together they discuss the opportunities and challenges of AI, the value of real-world learning, and practical ways parents can lead with confidence. Before our children learn to use powerful tools, they need to learn how to think, discern, and engage with the world around them.   SHOW NOTES https://nancymanos.com/podcast/002-seann-dikkers   GET YOUR FREE FAMILY DISCUSSION GUIDE AI is everywhere, and your family deserves a thoughtful, grounded way to talk about it.
