Spot a Risky Message

Notice message clues that mean pause and ask.

Parent-trust note

KidWiz course pages are written for parent review first. They describe short, age-fit, parent-visible lessons and should never imply promised outcomes, a substitute for school support, therapy, diagnosis, or unrestricted child chat.

Learning goal

Identify digital messages that need trusted adult help.

Digital safety Should I start with digital safety if online risks feel urgent?

Yes, when the parent's main concern is links, messages, passwords, privacy, or device independence. Start with the Digital Skills lane that matches the child's age before branching into broader subjects.

 Digital safety When should kids start digital safety lessons?

Digital safety lessons should begin before a child is fully independent online, while a parent can still practice the rules together in short calm sessions instead of waiting for a problem.

 Family plan What does the KidWiz family plan actually change?

The family plan should change continuity and access, not the trust standard. It gives a parent a clearer ongoing routine for up to three children while the product still stays parent-managed and preview-stage honest.

 Parent visibility What should parents see after an AI learning session?

After a child finishes an AI-guided lesson, a parent should be able to see the skill practiced, the child choice, the learning fit, and whether live or backup content was used.
