Is AI the New Parenting Expert? - 268

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode

Parenting with AI? What AI tools can, and can't, do in making parenting decisions!

In this eye-opening episode of Equipped To Be, I'm explaining the growing trend of moms and dads using AI tools like ChatGPT for parenting advice, emotional support, and even discipline strategies. It's fast, convenient, and always available. But at what cost?

I'm sharing the real research behind this growing trend, what experts are applauding, and what they are sounding the alarm about. From easing the mental load to concerns about over-reliance, misinformation, and emotional detachment, this episode doesn't shy away from hard questions parents must consider. 

If you've ever asked AI to write a bedtime story, a behavior fix, or a meal plan, this one is for you. Because the tools we use to parent matter. 

Tune in: 

  • What are parents turning to AI for help?
  • The surprising way AI can help with stress, routine, and connection with your child
  • What researchers warn about emotional dependency and trust
  • How to use AI without losing your own voice
  • Not replacing God's advice with ChatGPT's advice

This show will challenge how you think about parenting in a digital age.
