This study is related to the behavior of children and parents in communication mediated by digital messages. The purpose of this paper is to describe the pattern of family communication felt by children and their parents in interacting using digital messages and how different perceptions of communication between them. The study sample consisted of 30 family pairs consisting of teenagers and their parents who provided reports on existing communication patterns formed in their families. The questionnaire about interaction and communication used refers to the concept of the Family Communication Pattern (Fitzpatrick and Ritchie, 2002) using the child and parent version. Factor analysis is used to process data. The results showed that 50% of parent-child couples had different perceptions in family communication patterns. Communication mediated by digital messages provides a gap in the orientation of conformity and conversation orientation in the family, parents view a higher orientation to conformity than their children, while children perceive a higher conversation orientation than their parents. Using the Mann-Whitney test found differences in conformity orientation between children and parents. This finding is the basis for a deeper exploration of the dimensions of family communication patterns. Some of the main substantive and methodological implications are discussed.
