Hi,
Assuming that you navigate to ChildComp using ChildComp Interface View i.e
// to navigate from from parent comp view to child comp view
1. You embed the Interface view of your child component in the Window of the parent Comp
2.Create a outbound plug (toChildCompViewOut) in the view of parent comp and create a navigation link from Outbound plug of parent view to InboundPlug of ChildComp Interface view
3. On action in the parent view
    wdThis.wdFirePlugtoChildCompViewOut();
// to naviagte from child comp view to parent comp view
1. Create a outbound plug in the ChildComp Interface View say "toParentCompOut"
2. Create a inbound plug in the parent comp view and link this with the outbound plug of your ChildComp Interface View.
3. Add the interface view as required controller in the view of child comp
4. On action in the child comp view
    wdThis.wdGetChildCompInterfaceView.wdFirePlugtoParentCompOut();
