## Resource

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore new teen focused safeguards in ChatGPT and what they can, and cannot, do for young people. They discuss emotional dependence, study tools, discernment, and the temptation to let AI replace the struggle and relationships that make learning meaningful. Parents will be encouraged to help teens use technology wisely while forming them to recognize trustworthy voices and stay rooted in relationships and truth that AI cannot replace.
