Why I Wrote This Book
It started with a simple question from my 13-year-old: "Can I use ChatGPT for my homework?"
I run multiple businesses that use AI daily. I understand the technology. But when my own son asked about it, I realized I had no framework for answering that question as a parent. The schools weren't ready. The parenting books hadn't caught up. And the internet offered only extremes - either techno-utopians promising AI would revolutionize education, or doomsayers demanding we ban all screens.
Neither helped. So I built the guide I wished existed.
This book is for parents who want more than surface-level advice. It's for those who understand that AI is neither salvation nor threat - it's a tool, and like all powerful tools, the outcome depends entirely on how we teach our kids to use it.
What You'll Learn
The 80% Rule Framework
The core principle: your child does 80% of the thinking, then uses AI for feedback - not answers. Complete with implementation scripts for every age.
The Science of Learning
Why productive struggle matters, what cognitive offloading does to developing brains, and how to protect your child's thinking capacity.
Age-Specific Guidance
Detailed frameworks for ages 6-9, 10-12, and 13+. Because what works for a 7-year-old is completely wrong for a teenager.
Digital Safety Protocols
Voice cloning, deepfakes, AI scams - the threats targeting families and the specific protocols to protect against each one.
Conversation Scripts
Word-for-word scripts for difficult conversations: setting boundaries, explaining why "just checking answers" isn't okay, and handling pushback.
8 AI Activities
Hands-on activities that turn AI from a thinking substitute into a thinking amplifier. Each one tested with real kids.
Rajat Suri
I'm a father of two boys (ages 13 and 6), a lifelong learner, and an aspiring entrepreneur based in Mumbai, India. I work with Musafir.com and have spent over 25 years in the travel tech space.
Over time, I've become deeply motivated to build new things—some that never launch, and some that do, like TimesofVisa.com. I work with AI every day, building automated systems and experiencing firsthand both its extraordinary potential and its very real risks.
Nothing in this book is theoretical. Every framework was tested first in my own home, with my own children. These lessons come from being in the arena—making decisions, learning from what didn't work, adapting, and figuring it out in real time, just like you are.
