The three must‑have AI conversations  every parent should have with their teen right now. Practical “waypoints” & the PAUSE protocol  to help kids own their AI use, keep hard work, outsource with intent, and preserve human‑only spaces. How to replace guilt with clarity  by building family “through‑lines” (core values that act like a compass). Key takeaway:  You don’t need to be an AI expert—just start with curiosity, ask simple questions, and give your teen a safe, value‑driven framework to navigate AI. Bio Mike Whitaker (\"Whit\") is a father of two teenagers, author of Family Throughlines: Discover Your Timeless Compass for Parenting in an Uncharted World, and writer of the Substack newsletter Navigating AI Transitions with Whit. By day, he's a Senior Vice President at ICF, a global professional services firm, where he leads strategy and innovation initiatives. By night, he's a parent in the trenches trying to figure out how to guide his kids through a world being reshaped by AI. His work bridges professional strategy frameworks with the real conversations families need to have — about AI, social media, school safety, and growing up in a disrupted world. He lives in Boulder, Colorado with his wife Jen and their two kids.
