FAQ
Does research really show AI can lower kids' thinking?
Evidence from 2024-2025 shows cognitive offloading and reduced neural engagement when tasks are AI-assisted from the start. KidIQ counters both with attempt-first design, scaffolds, and reflection. (MDPI, MIT)
Is KidIQ anti-AI?
No. We're pro-thinking. We use AI as a coach, not a crutch — consistent with studies showing benefits when tools support self-regulation and metacognition.
Will this help with homework and tests?
Yes — by building the skills behind answers (planning, reasoning, reflection). Parents see independence trends, not just scores.
Is my child's data safe?
Yes. We minimize data, encrypt at rest/in transit, and give you one-click export/delete. See Safety & Privacy.
