FURTHER RESEARCH AND SOLUTION IDEATION
I've been looking into possible solutions or our brief and it is a tough choice. There definitely are resources out there but they aren't so known particularly in New Zealand.
Three possible solutions so far:
Picture Book according to our target audience
Website/forum that helps kids connect with other kids going through the same sort of thing
App where the child can also learn and understand divorce better. (Rough Idea) So many kids play with phones and ipads that this isn't much of an issue of how they would have access to an app.
I had also interviewed my friend's sister because she has gone through her parents divorcing. Even before asking her anything I wanted to make sure she was okay with it because I didn't want her to get upset. The interview went well but as much as she answered the questions she realised that she is still going through the after affects of divorce.
Sometimes I feel that the school curriculum should also include a topic about divorce and how to handle it. I mean if you can keep talking about puberty every year or shit thats going on around the world why not teach a bit about divorce so children may be able to understand the whole idea.
She definitely wishes there was something when she was initially going through the process.
App that informs the user of the situation yet helping you ease through it. Nowadays many kids have access to smartphone so even this solution looks realistic. We just have to think a bit more about the actual user experience.
Website the same sort of experience as the app. To educate/inform the user whilst appealing to the user through aesthetics and user-bility. The content is yet to be decided.
