In most cases you want to avoid doing this if possible. Data should flow down and events should be emitted up.
That being said you can access by adding a ref to the child. In child you add a
<Child ref='foo'></>
Then in your parent you access the component vie ‘this.$refs.foo’ which will have all the normal method and data stuff on the child.
