Access Container View Controller from Parent iOS

Question

in iOS6 I noticed the new Container View but am not quite sure how to access it\'s controller from the containing view.

Scenario:

Answer 1

self.childViewControllers is more relevant when you need control from the parent. For instance, if the child controller is a table view and you want to reload it forcefully or change a property via a button tap or any other event on Parent View Controller, you can do it by accessing ChildViewController's instance and not via prepareForSegue. Both have their applications in different ways.
