The Problem Every Digital Parent Faces
Your child asks their AI assistant for homework help. They accept the first answer without question. They consume content without thinking critically about its source or accuracy. Sound familiar?
You're not alone. 59% of parents worry that their children are becoming too dependent on AI without developing essential thinking skills according to a 2025 survey.

Transform your Child's AI experience with Digital Socrates™
Why Socratic Questioning Changes Everything
Critical Thinking
Instead of: Accepting AI responses at face value
Teach them: "How can I verify this information? What other perspectives should I consider?"
Problem Solving
Instead of: "What's the answer to this math problem?"
Teach them: "What do I already know that might help solve this? What questions should I ask to understand this better?"

My Personal Promise to You
I'm Patti Hinman, and I've spent my career watching technology transform how we think, learn, and connect. In the 1990s, I helped create "Internet in a Box" at Spry Inc.-- literally putting the entire World Wide Web on a single floppy disk. I thought I understood how technology reshapes society. Then my 27-year-old son casually mentioned having philosophical conversations with an AI about consciousness.
That moment changed everything.
As a mother who has guided four children from curiosity to critical thinking, and as a technologist who has seen both the promise and perils of digital transformation, I make you this promise:
Every resource, every lesson, every technique I share comes from real experience. I'm not just teaching theory. I'm sharing what actually works.
Friendly Disclaimer for Parents
At Digital Socrates™, our goal is to spark curiosity, critical thinking, and meaningful conversations about AI within your family.
Everything we share is designed for educational purposes only — to give you tools and ideas, not professional advice.
We encourage you to guide your child’s experience, adapt activities to what feels right for your family, and use your own judgment in applying what you learn here.
Like any tool, AI is not perfect — and neither are we. Please treat Digital Socrates™ as a supportive resource, not a substitute for your wisdom as a parent or for professional guidance where needed.
