## Resource

Google's AI search change has been making the rounds in homeschool communities — and a lot of parents aren't sure what to make of it. In this episode I sit down with my son Kenyon, an AI researcher and author writing a book on AI safety, to separate what's actually changed from what hasn't — and what homeschool families specifically need to do about it. The short version? It's not the crisis some parents fear. But there are real things worth teaching your kids right now. Inside this episode: Why Google was already curating results long before AI got involved What AI Overviews are and where they actually pull from The legitimate concerns — and the ones you can release A simple three-part framework for teaching kids to search with confidence and skepticism Why this moment is actually a great opportunity for homeschool families Search has always been a skill. This episode will help you teach it. **Save your seat for the upcoming FREE Inspire Lifelong Learners Masterclass! https://illlive.thefreedomscholar.org/illliverp0 CONNECT WITH KAMI: Schedule a free Homeschool Confidence Call with Kami: https://link.thefreedomscholar.com/widget/bookings/fn “Homeschool Success with Kami Wanous” live in Facebook & YouTube every Thursday at 12pm PT & links to Podcast: https://thefreedomscholar.com/podcast Website: https://www.thefreedomscholar.com/ Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/216184786279733 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefreedomscholar LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kami-wanous/
