Publisher's Synopsis
A book written by a teacher and a psychologist, What could go wrong?
Together we form Teens' Detectives: discreet and in-depth research at the service of mothers and fathers of teenagers. This time, our research is focused on getting to know teenage slang in depth. But we have not intended to offer just a dictionary of terms, but a detailed study of the complex contexts in which they are used. A study that allows us to understand the decisions of our daughter or son, to know their tastes, to empathize with their fears, to alert us to possible risks... in short, to continue sharing their life despite their adolescence, to help them when they need it even if they do not verbalize it and to enjoy them, enjoy them a lot.- Discover the essence behind youth slang: more than words, a window into the adolescent mind.
- Delve into the hidden contexts of slang to truly understand your son or daughter.
- Understand how expressions reflect the thoughts, fears and likes and dislikes of teenagers.
- Understand the warning signs, empathy and connection: keys to coping with adolescence through their language.
- Dangerous slang: what is it, what can it tell us?
- Beyond words: a journey to strengthen complicity and understanding in the family.
- Includes a detailed glossary with the main words and expressions used today.
Because it is not possible to understand the speaker if we do not understand what he is saying.
