ChatGPT for Teens adds Study Mode, which gives hints and questions instead of the final answer.
Ask it to write an assignment and a homework reminder steers the teen back into Study Mode.
Parents link the teen’s account from their own login under Parental Controls, set Study Hours and Quiet Hours, and manage voice, image and sensitive-content settings; high-risk self-harm situations can trigger a direct parent alert.

Scientists in Maine studied more than 500 puppies of five breeds over 13 years, backed by the Rockefeller Foundation’s Alan Gregg, who believed intelligence was overwhelmingly hereditary.
No breed proved ‘more intelligent’ overall: each did better on some tests, and temperament shifted with context.
Pups had a ‘critical period’ from 4 to 12 weeks; isolated pups that missed it grew up untameable, an experiment researchers say would not be allowed today.
