Live at 13:30 – 14:30 (UK time). LIVE — MS Teams
A keynote for parents and teachers on raising children in the age of AI. This is a calm, evidence-based, and honest talk about the one tension every modern family is navigating.
We want to protect our children from the worst of what technology can do to them. And at the same time, we know they have to learn to live well in a world that technology has already reshaped. Both of those things are true, they pull in opposite directions, and they pull at the same time.
That is the Tech Parent Paradox, and it is the defining condition of raising children right now.
This keynote is not a doom talk, and it is not a hype talk. Drawing on the latest UK and European research into how children actually use AI. It includes findings that may surprise you about what your own child is doing. Kevin David Shields offers parents and teachers a clear way to stand inside the uncertainty without losing their balance.
Across four layers — the world as it actually is, the parent you actually are, the values you hold, and the family you build together — you will leave with a framework for thinking clearly about AI and childhood, and four concrete habits you can begin this week. No technical fluency required… Just presence.
Because children do not need adults with all the answers. They need adults who show up.
