When using AI tools to support children's learning, protecting their privacy should always come first. As parents and educators, we need to be mindful of the information we share online. Children's full names, home addresses, photographs, school records, and other personal details should never be entered into AI platforms without proper authorization and appropriate privacy safeguards. We can still make good use of AI without revealing a child's identity or sharing information that should remain private. After all, keeping children safe in the digital world is just as important as supporting their learning.

At Home: When asking AI for learning ideas, focus on your child's interests, age, and general learning needs rather than sharing personal details. For example, instead of providing your child's name or school records, simply ask, "Can you suggest a sorting activity for a four-year-old who enjoys puzzles?" This gives AI enough context to offer helpful suggestions while keeping your child's identity and personal information private. Remember, we can personalize learning without compromising privacy!
