This paper will examine the intergenerational communication between parents and children as a sub-system of the larger system of the family unit. It will be argued that this relationship cannot be understood in isolation from other relationships such as the child's interactions with her peers. In this analysis, it will be seen that only a holistic approach to the topic of communication within the family can hope to pull together the many stands of the family relationship(s). 6 pgs. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
