For parents

Ask Eartha is a free nature Q&A helper for children aged 5-11. You set the scene, your child asks the questions, and Eartha answers in language they can read aloud.

Is Ask Eartha safe for my child?

Eartha only answers nature, science and planet-care questions. She never asks for personal information, never links out to the open web, and keeps climate topics gentle and action-focused.

Answers are AI-generated and can occasionally be wrong, so the disclaimer stays on every page. Read how Eartha works for the full detail.

What data is and is not collected

• No child accounts, no child sign-in, no personal data collected from children.
• Parent or teacher setup details stay in your own browser's local storage.
• No behavioural advertising, and no ad targeting of minors — ever.
• Questions typed into the live Ask box are sent to our AI provider to generate the answer.

The full statement is on the privacy page.

How do I explain a tricky concept to a young child?

Answer in one sentence first. Then compare it to something in their world — roots drink like a straw, clouds are a sky-sized kettle. Then hand the curiosity back with a question.

Every page in the questions library follows that shape and adds a two-minute activity you can do with things already in the kitchen.

Using Eartha well at home

• Sit alongside for the first few sessions and read answers together.
• Ask "what do you think?" before you tap ask.
• Take one activity outside — the backyard beats the screen every time.
