Help a parent or partner start safely
Sit beside them and let them choose the first task.
How to do it
Ask what they would actually like help with. Demonstrate one low-stakes prompt, then let them try. Show how to ask a follow-up and how to stop or clear a chat. Agree on what stays private.
Prompt to try
Give me three simple dinner ideas using carrots, eggs, and rice. Ask me before assuming I have other ingredients.
A fictional example
Sam sits with his father, who chooses a dinner idea. His father rejects one suggestion and asks for something that uses only one pan.
