Minds of Tomorrow: Raising AI-Native Kids - A Parent's Playbook for the AI Age   

Your six-year-old asks Siri about death instead of you. Your ten-year-old’s best friend is an AI chatbot. Your teenager uses ChatGPT for homework while you’re still figuring out how it works.

Welcome to parenting in the AI age, where the rules change while you're making dinner.

Jay Stifflemire doesn’t have a PhD in child psychology or AI development. He’s a father of three young kids, a former military aviation maintenance administrator, and now a Senior IT project manager. What he does have is live experience—like the moment he realized his son trusted Siri more than Dad. That painful realization inspired this book and the journey to reclaim human connection in an algorithmic world.

Minds of Tomorrow isn’t another screen-time lecture or tech-panic manifesto. It’s a practical playbook from the parenting trenches, combining real family struggles with actionable strategies for raising kids who can partner with AI without losing their humanity. From managing the iPad meltdown at age four to navigating ChatGPT homework at twelve to preparing for AI-dominated careers at twenty, this book covers the journey with brutal honesty and tested solutions.

No perfection. No judgment. Just one family’s messy, imperfect path and a practical playbook, to help parents everywhere face the biggest parenting challenge in human history.

Coming November 2025

The algorithm is already raising our kids. Time to take back control.

Every day you wait, AI improves at capturing your child’s attention and reshaping their values, while quietly replacing human connection.

Minds of Tomorrow gives you the tools to take back control, starting tonight at your dinner table.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why ages 1–7 may be your secret weapon against AI dependency
• The three-word phrase that reshapes how kids see ChatGPT
• How “weird” becomes your child’s superpower in an AI-driven economy
• The Friday night test that reveals whether screens own your family
   

After reading this book, you will:

• Know precisely when AI helps, and when it harms, your child’s development.
• Use ready-to-go conversation guides for the AI talks you’ve been avoiding. 
• Understand why your screen-time rules aren’t working, and what works instead. 
• Create a Family AI Constitution that actually sticks.
• Stop wasting energy on unwinnable fights and focus on what matters most.
• Build your child’s human premium, the uniquely human skills AI can’t replicate.
• Turn dinner from a stress point into a daily ritual of connection.
• Navigate homework challenges when ChatGPT seems to do it better.
• Prepare your kids for jobs that don’t even exist yet.
• Feel confident guiding your kids through AI, rather than shielding them from it.
