Error trapping in parent/child scripts

Greets all. I'm using Slackware 12.0 with the bash shell. Calling my scripts with /bin/sh...

I'm building gnome-2.18.3 and I have all my build scripts ready and working but I'm calling them from a parent script which executes each child/build script in a certain order (for loop).

I have "set -e" in each child script but the parent keeps right on going if a child craps out. What's the quickest/easiest way to get the parent to exit on child failure?

Thanks everyone. Been looking high and low but can't seem to find the information I need and error trapping is pretty new to me.
