The few seconds before your child believes something...

This year a lot of kids came home scared of something they saw online. A picture, a video, a rumor in the group chat. And when the grown-ups said "that's not real," a lot of kids didn't believe them either.

Our kids aren't gullible. Believing is fast and checking is slow, and most kids have never been taught what to do in the gap between the two. That gap is exactly where AI lives now.

I wrote the full breakdown. You'll walk away with a three-word habit you can teach at dinner, no device needed. Has your child ever believed something online that turned out not to be true? What helped them see it?
