Screens are part of everyday life. They help children learn, connect, create and explore new opportunities. However, healthy screen time is not only about the number of hours spent on a device-it is also about how technology is used and creating a balance between digital and offline activities.

Healthy screen time can include:
-Using technology to support learning and creativity.
-Exploring digital tools safely and responsibly.
-Taking regular breaks to rest, move and recharge.
-Making time for family, play and activities away from screens.

As parents and caregivers, we can help children develop positive digital habits by setting healthy boundaries and encouraging purposeful technology use.

The goal is not to remove technology, but to help children use it safely, responsibly and in a way that supports their growth.
Discussion: What does healthy screen time look like in your home? Share your tips or routines with other parents and caregivers in the comments.

As we celebrate World Photography Day, it’s important to remember that what we share online can become part of our digital footprint.

Before posting a photo, video, or any information online, take a moment to ask yourself: Do I have permission to share this? Is the information accurate? Could this affect someone’s privacy? And would I be comfortable with it being online in the future?

Small choices like these can help us create safer and more responsible online spaces.

What is one rule you follow before sharing content online?

During our second webinar, Itumeleng Segona highlighted the importance of teaching children about privacy settings on platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and other social media platforms.

Understanding privacy settings can help children and families have greater control over who can access their profiles, content, and personal information. These simple steps can play an important role in helping children develop safer and more responsible online habits.

Itumeleng also highlighted the value of screen-time tools, which can help parents and caregivers establish healthy digital boundaries and encourage a more balanced relationship with technology.
What privacy or screen-time tools do you have in place to help your child stay safe and develop healthy digital habits online?

What if keeping children safe online isn’t just about banning social media use?

During our second webinar, Digital Citizenship: Raising a Responsible Generation Online,Tumelo Hlaka shared an important reminder for parents and caregivers: children also need the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely.

Digital literacy can help young people recognize online risks, understand potential harms, and make safer decisions when using social media and other digital platforms.

Tumelo also highlighted the importance of protecting children’s privacy. Keeping children safe online should not be the responsibility of parents alone - it requires collaboration between parents, caregivers, and communities.

He also touched on age-appropriate limitations at device level as another practical way to support children’s online safety.

Ultimately, raising responsible digital citizens starts with giving children the tools, guidance, and conversations they need to make safer choices online.

Parents and caregivers, what are you doing to help your child stay safe from online harms?

Every young person’s digital journey begins with curiosity ,asking questions, exploring new ideas and discovering new ways to learn.

This International Youth Day, iLizwe Lam celebrates young people who are building their digital skills and finding new ways to use technology in their everyday lives.

Artificial Intelligence is becoming part of how we learn, create and solve problems. When used responsibly, AI can help learners explore new ideas, improve their understanding and develop skills for the future.

With guidance from parents, caregivers and educators, young people can learn how to use technology safely, think critically and make responsible choices online.

Through the iLizwe Lam, we believe that helping learners build confidence with technology today prepares them for the opportunities of tomorrow.

Technology is a tool. How we use it shapes our future.

The internet offers children many opportunities to learn, connect and explore-but it can also expose them to challenges.

That's why it's important for parents and caregivers to prepare children before these situations arise. Teach them to recognise when something doesn't feel right, avoid engaging with harmful content, report inappropriate behaviour, and speak to a trusted adult if they need help.

These conversations can help children build the confidence to make safe and responsible choices online.

How do you prepare your child to respond to challenges they may encounter online?

As children learn, connect, and explore online, it's important they understand how their actions can affect both themselves and others. Respecting others, protecting personal information, thinking before posting, and speaking up when they see harmful behaviour all help create a safer and more positive online community.

Parents, teachers, and caregivers all have an important role to play by guiding these conversations, modelling responsible online behaviour, and helping children build the confidence to make good digital choices. Together, we can empower children to become confident,respectful, responsible, and safe digital citizens..

What online responsibility do you believe every child should learn from an early age? Share your thoughts in the comments.
