Want to reset standard autonumber field every time when new record is created.How to achieve this?Please Help

I have two custom objects namely Parent__c and its related child object child__c.There is a one standard autonumber field on both objects.So my scenario is,when new parent record is created child record must start from 1
Eg.
Parent-1
Child-1
Child-2
Child-3

Parent-2
Child-1
Child-2
Child-3

But in my case Child Autonumber field is continuously getting incremented after each parent record is created.
So,How to achieve Eg given above?

Hello - I have the same issue - I'd like to have the auto-number of each child reset to "XX-1" when a new record is created. I read through the information on the URL referenced but don't see specifically how to implement the solution in Classic.

Any feedback or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Stephen
