AI is in your child's life. Here's how to make it teach.
A practical guide for parents — how OpenKids works, how to set it up well, and how to talk to your child about learning with AI.
You create the account
Parents register first and give verifiable consent. Under-13s can never sign up alone — that's the law, and our design.
Your child picks a coach
30+ coaches across every subject. Coaches guide with questions — they never just hand over answers.
You see the learning
A weekly report and a live dashboard show what was learned and what to celebrate — never a surveillance feed.
Four habits that make AI learning work
Ask “what did you figure out?”
Not “what did the AI say?”. Praising the thinking keeps your child the hero of the story.
Let them teach you
Once a week, have your child explain something they learned. If they can teach it, they own it.
Keep sessions short and regular
20 focused minutes daily beats a 3-hour weekend marathon. The Daily Challenge is built for exactly this.
Use the weekly report as a conversation
Read it together on Sunday. Celebrate one win, pick one focus — that's the whole meeting.
What keeps your child safe here
Seven protection layers screen every message in both directions — a crisis safety net that never improvises, content screening that blocks when unsure, coaches that never pretend to be human, and you in control of time limits and visibility.
