Chatman is mostly about fun, but there is a serious side to it too. The creators of Chatman feel that children today spend so much time communicating via the computer, that they may be missing out on some of the human elements of communicating with friends. They don't see or sense their friend’s reaction to things they say. Chatman is about hearing a reaction to what you type, improving the emotional intelligence of children, and teaching normative communication skills within a safe, mediated and controlled environment.
