- Math by hand before math with tools15 minutes of manual problem-solving builds number sense AI cannot give.
- Write something on paperA journal entry, a letter, a story. The physical act of forming letters engages the brain differently than typing.
- Use AI together at least onceVibe code a project, explore a question, build something. Be present and curious.
- Catch one AI mistakeAsk the AI something your kid knows well and hunt for errors. Celebrate when they find one.
- Practice the spec conversationWhen your kid asks AI for something vague, pause and ask: "What exactly do you want it to do?"
- Attempt before augmentingFor any task this week, try it yourself first. Then ask: "How could AI help me improve this?"
