Divorce App 2.0

The Divorce App offers a valuable resource for parents and guardians seeking to support children through the challenges of divorce. It aims to provide insights into a child's emotional state and offers practical guidance on how best to assist them during this difficult time.

Having been distributed across five continents—North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa—and in over 14 countries, the app demonstrates broad international reach and recognition.

Conventional questions about a child's feelings often yield vague responses such as "I don’t know." However, encouraging children to express their emotions through drawing can reveal deeper truths, including feelings they might be unaware of or hesitant to articulate verbally.

Within the app, Dr. Woliver employs children’s artwork to illustrate their experiences, emotions, and needs at various developmental stages. This visual approach allows parents and grandparents to better understand how to support their children through divorce.

Many drawings depicted are poignantly honest; some may evoke sorrow, while others inspire resilience. These images serve as powerful motivators and foster hope that children can not only endure but also flourish beyond the experience.

The app presents clear strategies and specific recommendations tailored to different age groups, from ages 2 to 18. This includes practical solutions designed to address common issues encountered at each developmental stage.

Designed for quick navigation, the Divorce App enables users to select the relevant age group and immediately access pertinent information and solutions. It is suitable for parents, educators, therapists, and counselors alike, providing tools for open communication and effective engagement with children during divorce proceedings.

Additional features include activities aimed at helping children understand divorce better and a quiz for parents that assesses their responses and readiness to meet their child's emotional needs during this transition.

The Divorce App is based on Dr. Woliver’s book Mango Season Doesn’t Last Forever: A Guide to Helping Children Cope with Divorce, reflecting her 25 years of professional experience working with children affected by divorce. Its purpose is to support children in not only surviving but also deriving positive growth from this life change.
