whyzz is about talking with kids:

• Create awesome memories of the amazing and funny things your children are saying. Capture family dynamics and emotions. Document special moments. Or, track your kids’ intellectual development with a Wisdom Graph.
   
• Answer their many Why questions with the help of Family and Friends, the whyzz Q&A database or your peers in the whyzz community.
   
• Incorporate your “village” of family members and friends in explaining the world to your children.

Non-registered users can access the whyzz Q&A database of kid-ready answers and follow discussions in the whyzz community. If you would like to store memories or share quotes with your family, you need to register.

• You accept our terms of use.
   
• whyzz will store your email address and the password you've chosen so you can login again to access your account.
   
• If you have registered your child/children you can start your own “village” and you can invite family members by entering their email address.
   

We do not create a public profile. We do not give your email address to anybody.

When you register your account and your children you will be asked to invite family members or friends. Enter the person’s email address and name, and we will send her or him an email with a link to register.

If you would like to invite people after you’ve created your account, log in and go to “Village” and on the left side of your Wall (slide screen to the left on your iPhone), you will find an icon to edit your village and invite new members.

In “Village” you will find “My villagers” on the left of your village wall. Select “Edit” and click the red X. The villager who got "uninvited" is now no longer able to view your wall.

To be able to join your village, family members have to register. They can choose between just participating in your network or creating their own village and registering their own children.

Remember, you can also share stored quotes by email if a family member does not want to register for their own account.

To keep our users’ villages truly private, nobody can request access to a network or search to find friends. Only through a family member’s invitation will you be able to become a member in someone else’s village.

Please enter the person’s email address and name, and we will send him or her an email with a link to sign in on whyzz with her email and password. The system will recognize your invitation through the link and your family member is now able to view and comment on your village wall.

Your privacy is our top concern. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information. 

Access to your village is only granted by you through inviting family members. Nobody can request access to your network or find your account unless you send an invitation.

Posts are only shared outside your personal network (on Facebook or Twitter) with your explicit permission.
 

Neither your profile nor your posts are found or accessed by search engines. Your entries absolutely private.

Every quote you would like to share on Facebook or Twitter needs to be specifically selected and shared. You will be prompted by a “confirm sharing” pop-up to make sure a certain post should appear on your Facebook feed or Twitter wall.

For written quotes, tap or click on the speech bubble icon on top of every page on the iPhone app and the website. Enter the quote, click “Store,” and then enter any additional information and assign the quote to a specific child or upload/take a photo.

For audio quotes, use the whyzz iPhone app. Tap on the speech bubble icon and then the “record” button. Note that audio recordings are limited to 20 seconds.

The Village Wall is the area where you can share quotes with your family and where your village members can join in the conversations you have with your child.

The Scrapbook is your memory keeping tool. In a timeline of your child’s “intellectual development” you can remember funny events, family dynamics, and your child’s likes and dislikes at any given time in his/her very own voice. 

All quotes are added to the Village Wall and the Scrapbook by default. You may decide to keep a quote private (in the Quotes Detail editing screen) or to not share it with Wall or Scrapbook (in Sharing Options).

Our goal is to make your whyzz experience and the things you store on whyzz as private as you wish to keep them.

You can opt to keep posts “private” so only you can see your memories.

Or, by opting to post a quote “public,” your invited village members are able to see the post.

Furthermore, you can decide to individually post a quote to Twitter, to Facebook, or to share it by email.

No posts can be accessed by anyone you have not specifically shared them with.

We are working on a solution to let you create and order printed memory books of all your quotes, stories, and photos. As soon as this feature is available we will send an email to all our registered users.

Yes, you can add photos from your hard-drive or iPhone gallery to your quotes.

Whyzz currently offers an app for the iPhone which can be downloaded from the iTunes store.

My wisdom gives you (and your family members) the opportunity to share your experiences, knowledge, or wisdom with your children. Find an ever growing list of questions you might want to answer for your kid(s) like “What is love” or “What is the most important thing in life.”

Answering these questions preserves very unique and special personal stories for your children.

Every parent knows how hard it is to get kids to talk about their day. Use the Best & Worst diary to ask your kids for just the best and the worst thing of their day before bed time, as a starting point to discuss what’s going on in their lives.

The Q&A area is whyzz’s database of kid-ready answers and advice on how to talk about serious issues. Topics range from “Why do Ladybugs have spots?” to “What is electricity?” to “How to talk to children about death.”

Please have a look at our writers list to learn about their background and expertise.

You can either use the search bar on the top of the pages on the website or that unfolds when you click the speech bubble icon in the iPhone app. Please enter your question and click “ask”. Or you can browse the content categories in Q&A.

whyzz is written with the parents of children ages 4-8 in mind. whyzz aims to use language that is simple and imaginative in order to make complicated facts accessible and engaging to young minds. In order to maintain the attention spans of young children, we do our best to keep answers short and direct, too.

Please remember that whyzz is intended for the parents and caregivers of young children and not for children themselves. Since every caregiver knows their child best, we recommend that you decide for yourself what information you would like to share with your little one.
