AI can explain, draft, flatter, tutor, translate, remember, and simulate companionship. The difficult question for families is no longer simply how much screen time to allow. It is what a child is practicing, what the machine is doing, and who remains answerable for the result.\n\nThe AI Childhood offers a practical developmental framework for children from the early years through late adolescence. Drawing on child-development research, learning science, privacy law, official guidance, and emerging evidence about young people's AI use, Andrew Yoon Joo Lee shows how to distinguish useful assistance from disappearing rehearsal, healthy scaffolding from premature delegation, and convenient tools from judgments or relationships that should remain human.\n\nThe book includes a Developmental Delegation Matrix, a Family AI Handoff Protocol, age-banded practices, privacy and relational safeguards, school guidance, and concrete stress tests for real households. It is neither an anti-technology manifesto nor a permission slip for frictionless childhood. It is a guide to raising capable users who can work with powerful machines without quietly surrendering the capacities that make wise use possible.
