Each takes 20–30 minutes. Open the PDF for the print version; the full text lives here too.
WEEK 5 · TASK 1
3 Questions for the Dinner Table
Ask one tonight. Listen. Don't fix.
Most dinner conversations die at "how was your day?" because the kid has already answered that 47 times this month. Today: three age-appropriate questions per child, generated, then deployed.
Action checklist
- Open Claude. Give it each kid's age and one thing they're into.
- Ask for 3 questions per child that go beyond surface — but aren't interrogations.
- Pick ONE per kid. Use one tonight.
- When they answer, don't correct. Don't redirect. Listen. Ask one follow-up.
CAPTAIN'S NOTE
A father who only asks about grades and chores becomes the manager of his home, not the dad of his children.
SCRIPTURE SIT
Deuteronomy 6:6–7 — "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house." The dinner table is the house.

WEEK 5 · TASK 2
Build a Family Rhythm Asset
One concrete thing on the fridge by Friday.
Tools serve the home. They never compete with it. Pick one rhythm, generate it, print it, post it.
Action checklist
- Pick ONE:
- A 2-week meal plan + grocery list
- A chore rotation by kid age
- A family devotion track for 30 days
- A kids' summer reading list
- Generate it with Cowork or Claude.
- Print it. Stick it on the fridge.
- Photo of the fridge → bootcamp channel. Iron sharpens iron.
SCRIPTURE SIT
Joshua 24:15 — "As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." That starts with rhythm, not rhetoric.

WEEK 5 · TASK 3
Write Your Family AI Policy
Built with the kids. What AI is for. What it never replaces.
If you have a guardrail for yourself (Week 1.T1) you need one for the household. Build it WITH the kids — old enough to read, old enough to help.
Action checklist
- Gather the kids old enough to participate. 15 minutes max.
- Three questions, on paper:
- What is AI helpful for in our home?
- What is AI NOT for in our home?
- What's the rule if someone breaks it?
- Have the oldest write the policy. Parents add nothing — only ask questions.
- Sign it. Post it on the fridge next to the rhythm asset.
WHY WITH THE KIDS?
A rule the kids helped write is one they'll defend. A rule you dictate becomes one they sneak around.
SCRIPTURE SIT
Proverbs 22:6 — "Train up a child in the way he should go." Including the way he uses tools.
