RAISING AI-READY KIDS

Your child is already living in the AI age. The question is whether you're raising them to lead it - or just survive it.

AI is not a future concern. It is already in your home - inside the apps your child uses daily, the recommendations shaping what they watch, the tools writing their homework and the chatbots they confide in at night. Most parents feel the unease but don't know where to start. This book is where you start.

Raising AI-Ready Kids is not a technology manual. There are no software reviews, no jargon, no instructions for parental controls. What you will find is a warm, clear, deeply practical guide to raising children who can walk into any future - AI-powered or otherwise - and find their footing.

Drawing on twenty years of working with children and families, educator and author Tuva Fornes distills everything parents need into one powerful framework: five core qualities that no algorithm can replace - the ability to Think critically, Create with intention, Connect deeply, Adapt to uncertainty, and Lead with integrity.

Across fifteen chapters, you will learn:

• How AI is already shaping your child's thinking, identity and emotional development - often invisibly
• Which skills will matter most in an AI-transformed job market, and how to start building them now
• How to raise a child who uses AI as a tool - not a crutch
• Practical strategies for digital safety, online wellbeing and responsible technology use
• How to have the conversations that actually matter - at every age, from five to eighteen
• How to upgrade yourself as a parent so you can guide your child through a world you are still learning too

Every chapter includes age-specific guidance for children aged 5-8, 9-13 and 14-18, plus a Try This This Week section - simple, real-world actions you can take even in a busy week.

This is not a book that will tell you to be afraid of technology. Fear is not a parenting strategy. This is a book that will make you capable, calm and clear - the kind of parent your child needs you to be right now.

The AI generation is already here. Raise the leaders of it.
