I would say you can do this without creating a workflow or process builder.

If the relationship is master detail then have a rollup summary field which counts number of child records. Once done, have a formula field on Parent object with return type as checkbox. Have a formula which says 
If (Roll_Up__c > 0, TRUE, FALSE)
Hope this helps!

What is the relationship between the objects? If MD, then you can create a roll-up summary field to count the no. of child records. Then create workflow field update, if that field is greater than 0, update the checkbox.

Does this help?

Hi Andy ,
You Can use Process builder and Workflow
You can put Condition field value is Greater equal to 1 and Update the checkbox true.

Hope this helps
