How to Think About AI in Your Child's Education: Practical guidance for parents who want to raise thinkers

A session for parents with Dr Simon Breakspear

AI is no longer just an app your child chooses to open. It is being infused into every tool they already use – search, word processors, homework help. Suggestions now appear before a sentence is finished. Nobody asked your child whether they wanted to outsource their thinking. It's simply there, by default.

AI doesn't just distract from thinking. It offers to do the thinking itself. And childhood is precisely when the capacity to think is built. The habits of thinking, effort and judgement formed in these years shape how children learn, work and relate for life. What a child doesn't practise, they don't build.

Join education researcher and author Dr Simon Breakspear for a calm, evidence-informed session on what AI really means for how children learn and grow. At its centre are two questions every family now faces: when AI does more of the work, who's doing the thinking? And who is your child becoming? Simon's case to parents is simple: our children deserve the opportunity to build knowledge, the ability to think, and the space to work out what they think.
