Button
The voice message gives timely encouragement and care to increase the interactions with children.
The number of double-income families is increasing recently. More and more parents are not there with their pre-school children for reasons such as work and business trips. In time, parents and children are going their separate ways. Research has shown that quality time with children accumulates in daily routines. Good interactions encourage children to learn, and that opportunity is stripped from children when their parents are not there with them.
With the idea of parents buttoning up children’s shirts, the Button is designed with a voice message feature. Parents’ kind and caring words are recorded in the Button, allowing pre-school children to feel their parents are around even if they are far away.
