  • Relationships & psychology

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids Podcast, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore how artificial intelligence may be reshaping the way kids understand friendship and intimacy. They discuss the danger of relationships that offer companionship without friction or reciprocity, and why children need real people to discover who they are and how relationships work. Parents will be encouraged to create shared experiences, ask meaningful questions, spend unhurried time together, and help kids develop relational skills that can only grow through knowing and being known by others.
