Your tween or teen is already using AI for homework help, image generation, and drafting the text they're too nervous to send. Dr. Sheryl sits down with pediatric surgeon Dr. Dana Suskind to unpack what happens to identity, connection, and critical thinking when a frictionless technology moves into the middle of childhood, and why "good enough" parenting matters more now, not less. They also cover why teens open up to AI about breakups and mental health before they open up to us, what a suddenly silent waiting room reveals about disconnection, and the HOPE framework for parenting through the age of AI.
