Author:  Liu Yichun,  2020No other factors in the "family" are more important than the quality of parent-child relationship in the children's adaptivedevelopment. For children leftover in the countryside, the employment of their parents has led to long-term isolation,causing them to be separated from their parents in advance, and no sufficient buffer period has been given. These characteristics have made parents"bystanders" for the growth of rural children.
But at the same time, they still maintain the world view of naive children. To them, the image of their distant parents may have been transformed into the short-term warmth brought by the other end of the phone, and the content of the call is their whole emotional world. Those sounds have lit up the lights of home, and also the light in the children's hearts. Only when the light is on can home be truly called home.





Conception:The most intimate connection between the parents and the left-behind children are the phone call. Therefore, the phone rings is an symbol of opportunity. When the ringtone rang, the "light" in the home is lit up. The content of the call is visual-
ized as a colorful picture, and it is broadcast on the TV. The clanging of dishes and chopsticks is the sound of the home warmth, the calendar began to flip, was a signal to go home, but when the call ended, everything returned to darkness. and the "light" went out.





ProcessThe vibration module and sound module are activated, and the parent's call is displayed on the Icc screen.Visualize the content of the call and play it on the old-fashioned TV when someone pick up the call. The calendar is a symbol of going home. Children always look forward to the day when their parents go home. When the phone is picked up, the fan module will activate and flip the calendar.
Light means live of a family.I When it turns on, children's whole world will be changed.




Some studies say that there is an optimal call frequency. We recommend that parents call their children at least once every two days and keep the frequency. For children, if they encounter difficulties in life, they should normally seek help from their parents, but if their parents lose contact, they will find a substitute and establish a stable relationship. 




Parents who do not contact their children loosely or tightly will put their children into a dilemma: the parents are not close enough to ask for help at any time, and it is also very difficult to find a substitute. Therefore, the telephone is a vital presence for left-behind children.





The effect is mainly achieved through arduino, the phone signal is set as a switch, and the time interval is set, and it is turned on every 10 minutes. At the same time, signals are given to lights, steering gears, horns, vibrations, Ice screens, fans, and sounds sound, and these modules start to operate.
And the display screen installed in the TV will also play the corresponding visual screen.
