What is the best practice?

Parent page —> Child page
Parent page <—> Child page

In other words, do you link to the parent page from your child pages?

Maybe you could shine some light upon this? If you compare the json-ld snippets from:

https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/breadcrumbhttps://schema.org/BreadcrumbList
They seem to be doing it in two different ways (link in @id vs item)

I have no idea, both are valid according to https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
I'd go with the one from Google just to save a few bytes
