Fear of AI usually starts at home, when confusing news and dramatic videos make simple technology feel dangerous to everyone.
I began by explaining that AI already exists in phones, maps, and recommendations they use daily without noticing it casually.
Instead of technical terms, I used everyday examples, comparing AI to a helpful but imperfect assistant in real life situations.
I clearly told them AI can be wrong, just like humans, and should never replace common sense while making decisions.
To reduce fear, I set simple safety rules about privacy, passwords, and avoiding sensitive personal information being shared online accidentally ever.
I encouraged playful use, asking questions, translating messages, and summarising long texts to build confidence slowly without pressure or fear.
Once they achieved one small success, curiosity replaced anxiety, and they started exploring AI independently at their own pace, comfortably.
I avoided hype, job loss debates, and complex features, focusing only on calm understanding and trust building confidence gradually together.
The biggest change happened when they realised AI is just a tool, not an authority controlling it themselves, daily, calmly.
By removing judgement and pressure, learning felt safe, human, and natural for everyone involved, especially beginners, elders, and families, together, always.
