The Compliant Mind for Parents and Teachers in Armenia

From Yerevan, Gyumri and Vanadzor to small towns, families across Armenia are raising children alongside phones, tablets and homework helpers that answer instantly and rarely push back.

Whatever the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports and your child's school advise about screens and AI, the book gives families practical rules to pair with that guidance at home.

Yerevan has a strong engineering tradition and a fast-growing software sector, and the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies offers free after-school technology programs to teenagers. That makes the question of when a child should hear "no" from a machine a practical one.

Armenian, written in its own alphabet, is the official language. The book is written in English and is also available in Spanish as La mente complaciente.

3 practical tips for parents and teachers in Armenia

  1. Use the book's household rules as a family contract: write three of them down, sign it together and review it at the start of each school term.
  2. Turn on settings that make assistants show their sources, and teach children to ask "how do you know?", a habit that protects them from tools designed to agree.
  3. Once a week, have children argue the opposite side of something an app told them. Practicing disagreement is the muscle always-yes AI never trains.
