So I would guess in your case the parents do not instantiate (and add) their 
own children, but some other configurer (X) does. What would be wrong with:

X>>addChild: aChild toParent: aParent
    aParent addChild: aChild.
    aChild when: SomeChange do: [:aChange | self doTheRightThingOn: aParent 
for: aChange]

Would that be reasonable? Would it matter whether aChild used a local or a 
global announcer?
