Conversational agents (CAs) embodied in speakers or chatbots are becoming very popular in some countries, and despite their adult-centred design, they have become part of children's lives, generating a need for children-centric trustworthy systems. This paper presents a literature review to identify the main opportunities, challenges and risks brought by CAs when used by children. We then consider relevant ethical guidelines for AI and adapt them to this particular system and population, using a Delphi methodology with a set of experts from different disciplines. From this analysis, we propose specific guidelines to help CAs developers improve their design towards trustworthiness and children., Comment: 19 pages
