My daughter will never write an essay without AI assistance. She will never struggle with a math problem alone. She is an AI Native.

Panic? No. Pivot.

Skill 1: Asking Better Questions

Answers are now free and instant. The value has shifted to the question. I don't ask her "What is the capital of France?" I ask, "How would you find out if the AI is lying about France?" Skepticism is the new literacy.

Skill 2: Focus Management

In a world of infinite AI-generated content, attention is the scarcest resource. Teaching a kid to sit still and read a physical book for 30 minutes is now an elite skill.

Skill 3: Human Ethics

AI can calculate optimal routes, but it can't choose the moral one. We need to raise philosophers, not calculators. The future belongs to those who can decide what to build, not just how.
