By Tamara Pesik - AI for Parents

About this event

Family & Education • Parenting

Your teen is using AI for more than homework. Some of it is helpful. Some of it is dangerous. This 60-minute workshop shows you the difference.

Here's what most parents don't know:

While you've heard of ChatGPT, your teen might be using Character.AI to create an emotional "companion" bot. Or confiding in Snapchat's My AI about problems they won't talk to you about. Or using AI in ways that could affect their mental health, privacy, and academic integrity. 2025 study run by Common Sense Media found 72% of U.S. teens used AI companion bots at least once, and 52% are regular users.

And here's the uncomfortable truth: Your teen knows more about AI than you do. Which means they're navigating risks without your guidance.

You don't need to become a tech expert. But you do need to know what's happening in your teen's world - and how to talk about it without them shutting down.

In this 60-minute workshop, you'll learn:

The 4 AI tools teens actually use - and which ones pose the biggest risks (hint: it's not ChatGPT)

What these tools are really being used for - homework help, yes, but also emotional support, socializing, and things you probably haven't considered

The specific risks you need to discuss - from emotional dependency to misinformation to privacy concerns

How to start the conversation this week - with real scripts, questions, and frameworks that open dialogue instead of creating conflict

A complete conversation guide (PDF) - so you have everything you need to keep the dialogue going

This workshop is for you if:

  • Your teen uses ChatGPT, Snapchat, or any AI tool (even if you're not sure which ones)
  • You feel behind on technology and don't know where to start
  • You want to guide your teen, not police them - but you need to know what to say
  • You're worried about your teen's screen time, mental health, or online safety
  • You've tried to talk about this and your teen shut down immediately

Why this workshop works:

Most AI trainings are built for tech people. Most parenting workshops ignore AI entirely.

This is the only training designed specifically for parents who need to understand AI just enough to protect and guide their teens - without feeling overwhelmed.

You'll learn from Tamara Pesik, a parent of two teens who uses AI in her business daily. She understands both the technology AND the parenting challenges - and she knows how to explain it in plain language.

What you get:

  • Live 60-minute workshop (recording available for 30 days)
  • PDF conversation guide with scripts, questions, and resources
  • Confidence to have this conversation this week
  • A framework you can use as AI continues to evolve

The bottom line:

Your teen is already using AI. The question isn't whether to talk about it - it's whether you'll be part of the conversation or on the sidelines.

Register now. This is a conversation your family can't afford to skip.
