Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the actual conditions of children's communication with their parents. The results of research provide the following information : 1. E.S. (elementary school children) had more verbal communication with their parents than J.S. (junior high school students). 2. J.S., more than E.S., discussed with parents their future and the problems and difficulties of getting into school of higher level. Children tended to change the topics of their conversation depending on which parent they were talking to. 3. The amount of conversation between children and their mothers was greater than that with their fathers.
