Time taken by a child process?

Hi,

I have a program where I fork few child jobs and call execvp to run another jobs. I use wait to wait for any job to get complete.
Requirement is I need to know the actual time taken by child job during execution.
I thought of calculating the time just before forking and after wait, but this does not gives me the actual results. I get a difference of few milliseconds using my approach.
