What should a family AI agreement include?

A strong family AI agreement should cover: how AI is used (as a thinking tool, not a replacement for thinking), specific rules around school integrity and homework, social health guidelines around AI companions, content safety practices, daily time limits, AI-free zones in your home, and a process for revisiting the agreement periodically. The Raised Nimble Family AI Agreement Builder generates all of these automatically based on your child's age and your selected concerns.

How do I set AI rules for my kids?

Experts recommend co-creating AI rules with your children rather than imposing them, as children follow rules they helped make more consistently. Start by identifying your top concerns: cheating, overdependence, social isolation, screen time, or content safety. Then set clear household guidelines — daily time limits, AI-free zones, and what counts as acceptable vs. unacceptable AI help on schoolwork. The Raised Nimble Agreement Builder walks you through this in under 3 minutes and produces a printable document you can sign together.

At what age should I make an AI agreement with my child?

Experts recommend beginning AI conversations at elementary school age — before children encounter AI use through peers or school. The Raised Nimble Family AI Agreement Builder supports children ages 6 through 16 with age-differentiated rules. Younger children (6–9) focus on supervised use and parental transparency. Older teens (15–16) focus on personal responsibility, academic integrity, and building skills AI cannot replace.

Is a family AI agreement legally binding?

No — a family AI agreement is not a legal document. It is a values agreement and shared commitment between parents and children, similar to a family media plan. Its power comes not from legal enforceability but from the conversation it creates, the expectations it makes explicit, and the fact that children and parents sign it together. Research on family media agreements shows that the act of co-creating and signing such a document meaningfully increases follow-through.
