In this eye-opening episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty dives deep into the worlds of creativity, culture, and technology with two remarkable guests who are changing how we think about children's education and entertainment. First up, animation director Trevor Lai shares fascinating insights into the delicate balance between artificial intelligence and human imagination. As the creator of Super Boomi and the tabletop game Paw Sum, Trevor emphasizes the critical importance of teaching kids to be creators, not just consumers. He warns against over-relying on AI while acknowledging its potential as a powerful tool for learning and creativity. The conversation takes an exciting turn with Windy Pham, founder of Little Ant World, who is on a mission to preserve Vietnamese culture through children's books. Her journey from corporate professional to author highlights the power of passion and cultural representation. Windy's books not only teach Vietnamese traditions but also create bridges of understanding between different communities. Both guests share a common message: technology should enhance, not replace, human creativity. They stress the importance of hands-on learning, reading together, and encouraging children to use their imaginations. From drawing dinosaurs to celebrating Lunar New Year, these creators show how books and interactive experiences can spark joy and curiosity in children. Key takeaways for parents include:

Limit screen time and encourage creative play

Use technology as a tool, not a replacement for imagination

Explore diverse books that represent different cultures

Engage with your children through reading and interactive activities

Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply curious about raising creative kids in a digital world, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. It's a reminder that the most powerful technology can't replace the magic of human connection, creativity, and storytelling.
