I'm a bit rusty on them but you should be able to declare it in the parent, associate it with an existing control in the parent.
Then in the child declare a control and associate it with the global. At that point I'd reference the name of the control you created in the child.
Parent: Control Name: ParentStencil: connected to Global Stencil
Child: Control Name: ChildStencil: connected to Global Stencil
In child reference ChildStencil, in parent Reference ParentStencil.
FYI: Depending on the release E9 configurator was/is very buggy so the issue you are experiencing may also be a bug.
