Understanding Gen Z and Gen Alpha

Every generation has their own language. Since good communication is key to connection and understanding, it's important to understand what they are saying. Mr. Manners Thomas Farley appeared on Good Day Atlanta to help the viewers out.

Mr. Manners talks decrypting the language of Gen-Z and whether parents should even try:   Like all generations before them, Generations Z and Alpha (those who are 27 years and younger) often seem like they are speaking their own foreign language. But if good communication is key to connection and understanding, then having a knowledge of the younger generation’s slang can help us all get along better. It all starts with "I love that for you."
