🌱 We're in This Together: A Back-to-School Note for 2025 Parents

Because parenting in a digital age doesn’t come with a manual—but it does come with support.

Back-to-school season isn’t just about pencils and planners—it’s about resilience, coordination, and the quiet chaos behind every packed lunch and permission slip. For parents, it can feel like a solo mission. But it doesn’t have to be.

They say, “It takes a village to raise a child.” In 2025, that village includes AI.

🧠 What Is the Digital Village?

Think of AI not as a co-parent, but as part of your support system—a digital village that helps you:

• Organize your family’s schedule with smart reminders and shared calendars

• Draft emails to teachers, coaches, and school admins in seconds

• Create flashcards, quizzes, and study guides tailored to your child’s learning style

• Meal plan, budget, and even automate your weekly grocery list

You’re still the heart of the home. AI just helps carry the load.

🛠️ Tools That Make You Feel Like a Superparent

Here are a few Brash-approved tools that turn overwhelm into empowerment:

• Copilot: Ask anything—homework help, lunch ideas, or how to explain algebra without tears.

• Canva for Parents: Design chore charts, reading logs, and birthday invites with drag-and-drop ease.

• Google Family Calendar: Sync school events, sports, and dentist appointments across devices.

• ChatGPT or Claude.ai: Draft polite but firm emails to the PTA or decode confusing school policies.

💬 Real Talk

You don’t need to be tech-savvy. You just need to be curious. The digital village is here, and it’s ready to help.

Homework Help Has a New Sidekick—Meet the Chatbot

✏️ The Problem:

Homework time used to mean tears, Googling, and the occasional existential crisis over long division. Now? There’s a smarter way.

🤖 The Solution:

Chatbots like Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude aren’t just for tech bros or startup founders. They’re surprisingly great at:

• Explaining confusing concepts (like “What even is a gerund?”)

• Breaking down word problems into bite-sized steps

• Rewriting rough drafts with better flow and grammar

• Quizzing students before a test—like a flashcard deck with personality

They’re not cheating. They’re scaffolding. Think of them as digital tutors who never sleep, never judge, and never say “I don’t know, ask your mother.”

🧒 For Students:

Whether you're 9 or 19, chatbots can help you:

• Understand faster: Ask follow-up questions without fear.

• Write better: Get feedback on tone, clarity, and structure.

• Study smarter: Turn notes into summaries, quizzes, or even poems.

👨‍👩‍👧 For Parents:

You don’t need to be a math wizard or grammar guru. You just need to know how to ask:

“Can you explain this like I’m 12?”

“Rewrite this paragraph to sound more confident.”

“Help my kid understand photosynthesis using pizza metaphors.”

Suddenly, you’re not just helping—you’re empowering.

🌟 Why It Matters:

Education isn’t just about memorizing facts. It’s about curiosity, confidence, and the joy of figuring things out. AI can make learning feel like play again. And when kids feel supported, they thrive.

🧩 Brash Takeaway:

Homework doesn’t have to be a battle. With the right tools, it becomes a conversation. And every question is a chance to grow.

College Is Coming. AI Won’t Wait.

3 prompts that prep your teen for the chaos ahead.

Let’s face it: college isn’t just books and bunk beds anymore. It’s deadlines, decisions, dorm drama, and digital overload. These 3 prompts? They won’t just help your kid survive it—they’ll actually make AI useful.

1. “Summarize this syllabus like I’m 12.”

Because no one reads syllabi. Turn wall-of-text policies into a one-glance guide with due dates, grade weight, and whether participation actually matters.

2. “Create a budget for a broke college freshman who still wants pizza once a week.”

AI can lay out real numbers, suggest part-time job income, and even build a “pizza cushion.” Not financial advice—just financial survival.

3. “Tell me 3 smart study habits based on my learning style (visual/kinesthetic/etc.) that I can try this semester.”

This one’s personalized, practical, and builds self-awareness. Even cooler? It works better than pretending to take notes in Comic Sans.
