Here’s how ChatGPT helped us solve some common parenting issues
My toddler is lying on the floor in a mall. Should I give in to his demand?
ChatGPT begins the 253-word answer by assuring the parent “It’s completely normal for toddlers to get overwhelmed or upset and express themselves by lying on the floor”. The app then says that the situation will determine whether the parent should give in to the demand or not. Moreover, the app advises the parent to consider the child’s safety first, then assess the demand (see if it is reasonable or not) and stay calm. The parent is also advised to try to distract the toddler. Most parents would agree that this is a very practical suggestion. Logic and reasoning usually fail when one is trying to manage a tantrum.
How to get my kid to listen to me?
ChatGPT came up with a 777-word answer to this question. The app suggested 11 strategies like ‘Make eye contact, use positive reinforcement and use a calm and assertive tone’. Each suggestion is followed by an explanation and tips too.
My baby is spitting out khichdi. What can I do?
The app advises the parent to check the texture and temperature of the khichdi, offer smaller bites, use colourful spoons and bowls, and be patient. “Introduce khichdi slowly and continue offering it even if they refuse initially. It can take several tries for babies to accept a new food,” reads a point in the 239-word answer. ChatGPT also asks the parent to consult a paediatrician if the baby continues to reject food and enquires about the child’s age. When we say the age is five months, the chatbot presents tips appropriate for that age and also advises the parent to ensure the khichdi is smooth and runny as the child is too small.
