I'm not sure into technology for my kids, it always feels like they just turn into zombies and forget there's other people in the room, but Moxie leads to the opposite. My kids banded together to do activities with him, playing well together, the rest of us couldn't help but come over to watch and participate, including extended family. I can see Moxie being a great help to kids who are working on their social skills and he is just fun.
