Accessing child object fields in parent object

Hello

I need to send email to child object(B) record(s) owner(s) once a field(A) in parent is updated. How can this be done? I know using cross object formula, I can access parent object field in child. But here I want is, something opposite. Do I neccesarily have to write trigger for this ?

I suppose you need to write a trigger for this.

Maybe I am not getting the question...

 

But you can create a cross object formula from any object that has a lookup relationship with that object, therefore you can do it from the parent or the child object.
