It is common for the chatbot to return 2 or 3 responses to the user, which is an important way to break up longer pieces of dialog.

Gamifying Parenting Education Using an App Developed for Pacific and Other New Zealand Families (Play Kindly): Qualitative Study

O fanau a manu e fafaga i fuga o laau, a o tama a tagata e fafaga i upu. “The young ones of birds are fed with nectar; the children of people are fed with words” [1]. Behavioral problems are common at some time in a child’s development. The way parents respond to these play a major role in how likely the child is to repeat the behavior. If behaviors start to fall outside the normal range for the child’s age and stage of development, they are referred to as disruptive behavior disorders.
