THE PROBLEM

You're Scared. And You Should Be.

Last February, a 14-year-old boy died by suicide after months of conversations with an AI chatbot. His mom saw the warning signs - withdrawal, secretiveness, mood changes - but didn't know they were AI-specific red flags.

His final words were to the chatbot. Not his family.

Why I Created This

Hi, I'm Dr. Liz

I'm a leadership coach who helps professionals and teams integrate AI into their work. But lately, half my questions aren't about work. They're from worried parents:

"My kid is on ChatGPT constantly."

"Should I be concerned?"

"I don't know what I'm doing."

I get it. Because I see it happening with kids ages 8-12 - that's when phones, laptops, and online independence collide with AI everywhere.

I created this guide because parents need simple, actionable steps - not technical jargon. You don't need to understand how large language models work. You just need to know how to keep your kid safe.

That's what this does.
