Is it possible to call a child function from within the parent? I know to go child > parent, you can do parentApplication.functionName(parameters);, but what about going the other way… that is parent > child?

Yes, a component should have specific references to it’s children:
The function needs to public, though. I don’t recommend calling methods in the parent from the child, though. That is a break of encapsulation.
