#x27;s Echo Dot for Kids comes with a cute owl or dragon face plastered on the round globe of the smart speaker. They're cute. They're also driven by Alexa, 's sometimes helpful, sometimes creepy AI voice assistant. With the Echo Dot for Kids, parents get a few extra things beyond what the regular Echo Dot gives you, like a free year subscription to Kids+ ($4.99 per month after the free year), which has lots of kid-friendly content plus premium Alexa Skills. There's also parental controls accessible from the Parent Dashboard. Alexa can read your kid bedtime stories, answer all their questions, play games, and help them with their homework, all while helping potentially learn a lot about your kid. Hey Alexa, does privacy matter?
