Today the digital world is bigger, louder and more complex. But so are the young people we work with.

Across South Africa, thousands of 13- to 18-year-olds have learned to ask better questions, set better boundaries and take up space safely.

Eight years ago, we created the iLizwe Lam programme because young people were already finding their place online - and the internet was moving faster than the conversations around it.

WhatsApp is an important part of how we communicate with friends and family.
As a parent or caregiver, understanding the platform’s privacy and safety settings can help you support how your child uses the platform as well.

From managing who can contact your child to understanding who can see their personal information, these settings can provide useful tools for creating a safer digital experience.

We know that keeping up with the digital platforms children use can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s why having the right information matters. Taking the time to understand these features can help you have informed and meaningful conversations with your child about staying safe online.


Explore the My Digital World platform for practical information and resources to help you navigate WhatsApp privacy and safety with your child.

Family device rules don’t have to look the same in every home.

Each family has its own set of rules and routines and what works for one family may not work for another-and that’s okay.

When it comes to your child’s digital life, simple boundaries can help everyone know what to expect. This could mean agreeing on:

-When devices can be used
-Which apps are appropriate
- When it’s time to put devices away
-Which safety and privacy settings to use

The goal isn’t to control every moment your child spends online. It’s about creating healthy boundaries that support safety, trust and open conversations.

What digital boundary works well in your family? Or is there one you’re still trying to establish?

Share your experience with us-another parent might find your approach helpful.

Digital parenting is the ability to help children protect their personal information online.

From social media profiles to apps and websites, children may share more information online than they realise.

Parents can help by having conversations about what information should stay private, who they share it with, and how privacy settings can help keep their information safer.

The My Digital World platform offers resources to help parents and children learn more about online privacy and staying safe in the digital world.
