Help us understand how parents in different countries use AI for kids’ learning.

An independent Pixel Parenting research project where parents worldwide share how AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini show up in their children’s homework, learning, and daily life.

For parents and caregivers of children ages 6–17.

What we’re trying to understand?

We hear a lot of claims about AI and kids (cheating, superpowers, shortcuts, dangers). But we don’t have enough real stories from real families. In this study, we ask parents in different countries about:

  • How they use AI tools (or avoid them) for homework and learning
  • What they hope AI might help their children with
  • What they worry about (cheating, dependence, privacy, equity, etc.)
  • How AI fits into their broader digital parenting: rules, co-use, conflicts, etc.
  • Where they get information about AI and which sources they trust
  • How confident they feel in their own AI literacy and ability to guide their kids

We’ll compare patterns across countries and cultural contexts to see where families’ experiences are similar and where they differ.

Our goal is to turn real parent experiences into practical, science-informed guidance through Pixel Parenting episodes, articles, and research briefs.

Who this survey is for

This survey is for:

  • Parents and caregivers
  • Who have at least one child between 6 and 17 years old

We want to hear from:

  • Parents who are excited about AI tools
  • Parents who are worried or skeptical
  • Parents who feel confused or unsure and aren’t using AI at all

All of those perspectives are important.

Privacy, independence, and how your answers are used

This independent research project is led by Pixel Parenting, a parent-focused media and research project created by Patricia Cangas.

  • Your survey answers are anonymous.
  • Please don’t include names or identifying details in open-ended responses.
  • Pixel Parenting will store responses securely and use them only for research, education, and communication about this project (for example, podcast episodes, research briefs, and presentations).
  • We will not attempt to identify you from your responses.

At the end of the survey, you can choose (in a separate short form) to: receive a brief summary of the overall results, and/or volunteer for a 30 minute online interview about your experiences.
