Geared toward age 6-12).  Chatman (www.mychatman.com) chats with kids, helps with homework, sends reminders about events, features games and apps, and participates in chats online while keeping them safe.  With both “boy” and “girl” modes, once taking Chatman out of the box setup is as easy as hooking up to the computer via USB, install and personalize. Either Meeko or Ginger will then interact with your child in various ways including moving his eyes, ears and hands as he talks to them. Check out this video:
