Second, how do you keep them from being emotionally attached to an AI?
You can't. We (including people's kids) will at some point, to some degree, become emotionally attached to an AI.
The thing is to be clear about what that 'friendship' does for you, what you put in & what you get out of it. Be aware of downsides, privacy issues, etc. And then: enjoy.
On the flip side, such bonds are not exclusive with human-human bonding. You can have both. So hug your kids often while they play with their AI-powered toy doggie.
