Whyzz Gives Families Tools for Worldwise Family Conversations

 


Whyzz, a parenting brand and media company, want to make talking about the world an everyday routine. Using tools and resources, such as #DailyWhyzz daily conversation starters, award-winning books and its weekly newsletter guides Salon Sundays, Whyzz helps parents talk about cultures, global challenges and controversial topics.

Whyzz wants to start conversations around the dinner table or on the way to school about cultures, global challenges, and controversial topics. 

In 2020, parents found themselves having hard conversations with their children about social and racial injustice while living through a global pandemic that changed lives overnight. Important issues such as social justice, poverty, global warming, disease, and hunger are overwhelming topics for children to understand on their own, but with the tools and resources provided by Whyzz, parents find it easier to have meaningful conversations about current events and local and global challenges. 

Kids are the future leaders, decision-makers and inheritors of the Earth. Let's raise them in a way that equips them with the knowledge and tools to make a difference.

Whyzz's CEO and founder, Constanze Niedermaier, created the brand to help parents rise to the challenge and raise their children to be more globally aware and encourage a global citizenship perspective. Whyzz helps shape the way future generations view the world and fosters a global mindset that garners appreciation for all people. 

Whyzz encourages curiosity and gives families tools to jumpstart conversations in fun and engaging ways, such as: 

  • Salon Sundays, a weekly newsletter that aims to make Sunday dinner the time for family discussions. The newsletter highlights current events while providing background knowledge on specific topics. Salon Sundays also offers ideas for activities that will encourage families to share stories and values. It highlights families, rituals, and customs from around the world, such as easy-to-follow recipes that families can make together.
  • Daily Whyzz, a collection of conversation starters posted to Whyzz's social media profiles. The daily posts of questions and facts are perfect for short family conversations about the news, big topics or different cultures over breakfast, in the car on the way to school or before bedtime. 
  • Whyzz Books, 33 Things to Talk to Kids About Global Challenges, and 33 Family Conversations about the World. These award-winning books, written by Niedermaier, encourage significant conversations with children about such timely topics as climate change, global warming, agriculture, love, dignity, inequality, and moral values.
To learn more, please sign up the Whyzz newsletter which can be found at the bottom of their homepage.
