Is AI Replacing You as the Safe Parent?

"Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master."
– Christian Lous Lange

We don’t always notice when it starts.

• A little more screen time here.

• A quiet shrug instead of a real answer.

• A late-night device check where you see questions no child should be asking Google.

But when a child is going through divorce, everything feels bigger. And if they don’t feel safe or seen enough to bring their worries to you? They’ll bring them somewhere else.

It used to be that they’d confide in their BFF, but lately, that “somewhere” is AI.

It feels smart. Neutral. Always available. But it’s not emotionally intelligent, which means, it’s not always safe.

This week’s blog dives into how unsupervised AI is quietly becoming the third parent in many split households… and what to do about it.

You’ll get real talk (and real strategy) on:

• How to create emotionally safe tech boundaries in your home

• Why clarity matters more than control

• And what to say when it’s time to talk to your co-parent about AI rules

And if you need help with the how (what to say, when to say it, how not to lose your cool), that’s what the Divorce Sanity Starter Kit is for. Scripts, strategies, and deep breaths included.

Your Turn

Stay present for a moment, and ask yourself:

• What messages is your child getting about tech, emotions, and safety right now?

• What’s one boundary you can model — not just mandate?

Hit reply and share it with me, or come join me on Instagram, where we get into this stuff in real time.

You won’t always get it right.

But when you choose presence over perfection (especially in moments that feel chaotic), you teach your child that love isn’t measured in rules, but in relationship.

That’s what they’ll remember. Not the screen time limits… but the safety of being seen.
