In a world where kids spend more time with screens than withthe people raising them, a quiet shift is happening inside our homes. AI isn’t just helping with homework or entertainment anymore — it’s becoming the voice shaping identity, confidence, and emotional habits. In this episode, Ed breaksdown the uncomfortable truth: we’re outsourcing presence without realizing it.

This is a conversation about leadership, fatherhood, and thefuture of family culture. It’s not anti‑tech — it’s a wake‑up call. Because if we don’t step back into the center of our kids’ lives, algorithms will. And the cost of that isn’t convenience… it’s connection.

Ed lays out what’s happening, why it matters, and how tobuild an “AI‑proof home” where kids grow up grounded, resilient, and led byreal people — not machines.

So many kids are misunderstood, mislabeled, or overlooked —not because they’re broken, but because adults don’t know what they’re seeing. In this episode, Ed Franklin sits down with Dr. Jeffery Knight, founder of Health Empowered Families, to break down what autism really lookslike, why so many children go undiagnosed, and how parents can become the strongest advocates for their kids.

We talk about behavior, communication, sensory overload, and the emotional world kids often can’t articulate. Dr. Knight brings clarity, compassion, and decades of experience helping families understand their children in a deeper, more empowering way.

If you’re a parent, educator, or leader who wants to seekids for who they truly are — not who we assume they are — this conversation will change the way you show up.
