fils, fille, and enfant can refer to someone of any age in the right context

just like in english

not sure how to even say teenager in france

[neon maple]

Teenager = adolescent.e (depending on the gender. You can say "ado", it's less formal though)

[drifting vine]

so adding to this
La fille de Janis
Le fils de Janis
L'enfant de Janis
L'ado de Janis
L'asolescent(e) de Janus

I was complaining about a rebellious teenager last night and I confused someone in main chat so they told me the word for teenager

[neon maple]

Exactly! But thom if you want it to be like refering to any age I think "fils" (son) and "fille" (daughter) are the best to use because "enfant" can be quite confusing I think

[drifting vine]

yes because enfant is more so 'infant' but it works for gender inclusive language (les enfants de Janis), also more formal. and that fille/fils is best to use if you know and its less formal.

like a form would probs say vos enfants
