Children typically learn to identify and express emotions through sharingtheir stories and feelings with others, particularly their family. However, itis challenging for parents or siblings to have emotional communication withchildren since children are still developing their communication skills. Wepresent ChaCha, a chatbot that encourages and guides children to share personalevents and associated emotions. ChaCha combines a state machine and largelanguage models (LLMs) to keep the dialogue on track while carrying onfree-form conversations. Through an exploratory study with 20 children (aged8-12), we examine how ChaCha prompts children to share personal events andguides them to describe associated emotions. Participants perceived ChaCha as aclose friend and shared their stories on various topics, such as family tripsand personal achievements. Based on the findings, we discuss opportunities forleveraging LLMs to design child-friendly chatbots to support children insharing emotions.
