We did something that sounds crazy: We gave our 8-year-old an iPhone 15 Pro. But there is a strategy behind the screen.

In this episode, we are exploring a new frontier: Family AI. We believe this is a pivotal moment where parents can either fear the technology or learn to lead with it. Our goal? To shift from being a "consumer family" (passive scrolling) to a "creator family" (active building).

We break down our personal framework for using AI at home—The 3 C’s: Clarify, Coach, and Create.

In this episode, we cover:

• The iPhone Decision: Why we gave Hunter a "device" (not a phone) and how we locked it down using Apple's native settings.
• Clarify: Using tools like the Limitless Pendant to capture the "ground truth" during disagreements and using voice-to-text to save brainpower during brainstorming.
• Coach: How we use AI as a neutral third party to mediate sibling arguments (like Maverick vs. Hunter) and navigate health scares in real-time.
• Create: Moving from consumption to creation—from designing our Thanksgiving gratitude tables to making explainer videos for school using NotebookLM.

Join us as we figure this out in real-time. It’s messy, it’s new, but it’s the most important addition to our family workflows ever.
