Is AI Safe for My Child? What Parents Need to Know

AI and Kids – Should I Be Worried?

You hear it everywhere — AI that writes, draws, and creates stories. But as a parent, the real question is: Is this safe for my child?

At My Story Steps, the answer is yes — when done right. Our goal is to combine cutting-edge AI with a sensitive, kid-first approach to storytelling.

Here's how we keep it safe:

  • Smart filters and clear rules – All stories are created using AI guided by custom instructions written specifically for children aged 5–14.
  • Bad word detection – Every piece of content is scanned for offensive or inappropriate language using a dedicated filtering system.
  • Kid-appropriate illustrations – AI-generated images follow strict design rules that block anything violent, scary, or inappropriate.
  • Full parental control – Only signed-in users (via secure Google login) can create stories. No anonymous or public access.

What makes our AI different?

We don't just connect ChatGPT or image tools to kids. At My Story Steps, we built a protective system around the technology:

Child-focused prompts and safeguards

Every story is generated within carefully crafted, age-appropriate boundaries.

Behind-the-scenes checks

Our system double-checks every story step and image for safety and tone.

You Can Relax — We've Got This

We're parents too. That's why we created a space where kids can be creative and curious, while you can feel confident they're safe — every step of the way.

Got questions? We're here to help.

If you're unsure or curious about how it works, just reach out.

Let your child imagine freely — while you stay worry-free.
