I remember we did a program with C about that, as I remember it's something about Mutual Exclusion, means this pipe (where the parent and the child put or get messages) is a critical resource, that means only one can access it at a time for writing (for reading it's ok they can access it simultaneously no problem). So you can apply a semaphore or something like that to guarantee this ME.
