L'app du detective

When your child throws a tantrum, withdraws, or answers "I don't know" to everything you ask, you know that moment when you're at a loss for words.

The Detective App gives you the right questions to ask—the ones that help them understand what they're feeling and find their own solution.

It's the mobile companion to the Detective Notebook, Élodie Da Silva's guide already adopted by thousands of parents.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Describe the situation in a few words ("He refused to go to school," "She screams as soon as we ask her to tidy her room," etc.).

2. The app suggests the most suitable worksheet for the situation and your child's age.

3. Choose the 5 questions that best resonate with your situation and keep them for your next investigation.

4. Start the investigation with your child during a calm moment—never during a storm.

WHAT CHANGES FOR YOUR CHILD
— They open up instead of shutting down. Questions create a space where they want to talk.

— They put words to their emotions. No more "I don't know" shutting down the conversation.

— They find their own solutions. And a solution they find themselves, they apply it the first time.

— Their self-confidence grows. Each investigation proves to them that they are capable of understanding and adapting.

WHAT CHANGES FOR YOU
No more "I don't know what to say." You have a guide. You know exactly what to do—even at 6:30 p.m., when you're exhausted.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND IN THE APP
• Over 30 fact sheets covering everyday situations: anger, fears, rejection, teasing, jealousy, sibling rivalry, lack of confidence, school anxiety, difficult friendships...
• 10 versatile tools to use in any situation: Control Circles, Fact or Opinion, Evidence Log, Time Out, and many more.

• Search by situation: type in what's happening, and the app finds the right fact sheet for you.

• A comprehensive catalog to browse, organized by theme (anger, fears, confidence, relationships, friendship...).

• Your investigations are saved so you can easily find them when a similar situation arises.

• The ability to suggest a new fact sheet to Élodie when none of the existing ones fit your situation.

WHO IS IT FOR?
For parents who want to support their child without yelling, threatening, or resorting to blackmail. For those who know that "just because that's how it is" no longer works. For those seeking a compassionate approach that truly works, grounded in practice, not theory.
