How AI Is Shaping Your Teen's Brain (And What Parents Can Do About It)
Monday, 17 August, 2026
Our kids are growing up with AI in their pockets, their homework, and sometimes even their late-night worries. Today, Dr. Sarah sits down with Dr. Amber Childs, a licensed clinical psychologist and associate professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, to unpack what that really means for a developing brain. They dig into why teenagers can be especially drawn to AI's validation, how algorithmic bias shows up in ways that matter for kids of color, and what parents can actually do when they notice their child pulling away to talk to a chatbot instead of a person. It's a conversation about risk, but also about opportunity, and a reminder that connection is still the thing no algorithm can replace.How to learn more about - Amber Childs, PhD - Center of Excellence Ambassador, Association Professor of Psychiatry, Yale School of MedicineMore resources:READ: Your teen turned to AI instead of you.
