[quote=Anonymous]I have a very sensory sensitive kid, she is 8 years old and doesn't get screen time as she has temper tantrums when try to turn it off.  i thought the alexa would be okay to listen to music.  but then she started asking it to tell her stories. and it is making up AI stories. they are interesting nad have captured her imagination, and now she likes the AI storeis more than real life stories in books. after just a few days of this in her room, I have taken it away. i saw her kiss the alexa. i am worried with all the grownup stories of attachments to chatbots, that this could turn into a kid attachment.  now she cries and says she does not want to spent time with me, or go outside to play, or read ab ogok, she just she wants the alexa.

i'm obviously keeping this away, as i think ti is unhealthy opportunity cost of time.  i would be ok with giving her20 mins a day on this, but i feel like she is such a deep feeler that she may not be able to balance that.

plus, she wants to listen alone in her room and these stories arent edited by an adult, i have no idea what the content is.

anyone been through this? like i said, it has basicalyl been just a few days of this, and too hard to manage, i have taken the device away.  any thoughts??[/quote]
