Episode 39: Should 6-Year-Olds Use iPads? Raising Critical Thinkers in an AI World
As schools introduce iPads to even the youngest students, parents are left asking: Is this helping or hurting our children’s development?
In this episode, we dive into a very real moment from Sabine’s life—her 6-year-old son starting school and the emotional debate at the parent-teacher meeting about introducing iPads in Year One.
Joined by her co-host Abha, they explore the broader question:
How can we ensure our children grow up to be critical thinkers and not just passive consumers in an AI-first world?
Topics they explore:
- The pros and cons of early tech exposure
- How AI tools like ChatGPT, Khanmigo, and Synthesis can support or hinder child development
- The risks of unchecked YouTube access
- Why parental involvement is more crucial than ever
- How to model curiosity, reflection, and tech literacy at home
This episode is a must-listen for any parent navigating the digital age with young children. Because when it comes to AI and our kids, one question matters most:
