Stream all log files into one file

Here is what I have.
1 main program and it calls several child programs. Each child has its own log file. I want all child logs also to be appended to the main.log so that I have a single log file. I also need individual child logfiles in tact for debug purposes. Need to be able to tail one log file instead of tens of child logs as they run..
I am free to modify either child or main program to accomplish this. How do it do this?

main.sh
log=main.log
echo "Entering main .log" >> $log
child1.sh

child1.sh
log=child.log
echo "this is child1" >> $log
