FAMILY COMMUNCATION NETWORKS
Family Communication Networks
Families have different ways in which the members
communicate. This often is related to how the family
identifies who is in charge.
Some families have one person who is the center of
communication. Often this is the mother. This network
looks like a wheel. Communication lines go from the
mother at the center to each family member. The mother
controls the messages and can adapt them as needed with
each family member.
Other families may use a chain network. One person
is in charge at the top giving messages to the next person
down the line. This person then gives it to the next
person down and so on. In busy families this type of
communication may be needed. The problem with this
“top down” approach is that only the second person in the
chain hears the complete message.
Many stepfamilies use a “Y” type communication. The
children are at the top points of the “Y” and the mother
in the middle. The stepfather is at the bottom of the “Y.”
Messages to the children are given through the mother.
This network may be useful as the members work to
become a new family.
Messages in the networks discussed above are filtered
through one person. Sometimes this is needed. It may
help reduce family conflict. The problem is that it could
also produce misunderstandings. The person who sent the
message does not talk directly to all those who receive it.
A fourth network style is the “all-channel” network.
In this setting each family member talks directly with
each other. There is no filtering of information. This style
is used more when children are older. The information
does not get distorted with this style; however it is not
as effective when information needs to get to everyone
quickly.
Families with good communication use a mix of
communication networks. That is because each type of
network can be useful in a specific situation. What is
important is that all family members feel heard.
