譯文

點睛
本句是個簡單句,主語是Being able to check in with a child anytime。goes a long way和may help是兩個并列的謂語。介詞短語toward relieving parental anxiety作a long way的賓語補足語。
check in本義指“登記;報到”,在句中意為“聯(lián)系”。
go a long way意為“大有幫助”。如:
One thousand dollars can go a long way to her. 1000美元可以解決她不少的問題。
relieve意為“緩解,減輕”。如:
Sometimes a funny joke may relieve you of a whole day's fatigue. 有時一則好玩的笑話可以幫你消除一天的疲勞。
loosen意為“放松,解開”。如:
I ate too much; I must loosen my belt. 我吃太多了,得把腰帶解松。
