Stop Stumbling When They Ask "What Does That Mean?"
Turn awkward word explanations into teachable moments
The Reality
You use a word in conversation, your kid asks what it means, and suddenly you're stumbling around like an idiot trying to define something a word you know, but just can’t articulate what it means as a definition.
The Hack
Ask AI to explain any word in kid-friendly terms with examples they'll actually understand. Get age-appropriate definitions that make sense to your child's world.
How to do it
① Ask for the simple version:
Prompt: "How do I explain [word] to a [age]-year-old?"
② Get concrete examples:
Follow up with "Can you give me examples using things like toys, snacks, or school that they'd relate to?"
③ Use it in the moment:
You now sound like you totally knew how to explain it all along. I mean, because, you totally did!
Pro Tips
⭐Works great for slang, cultural references, or complex concepts your kid overhears
⭐Ask for multiple examples so you can pick what fits your kid's interests
⭐Use it in reverse! Sometimes I don’t know what their words mean! And, by sometimes, I mean almost all the
time. None of it makes any sense.
