Child Object Getting Recognized as the parent, how to fix?

So, I feel like this should be an easy fix but here goes nothing. The player has a OnTriggerEnter2D and is the parent of a child. its on trigger says

  private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
  {
      if (collision.tag == "Enemy")
      {
          Destroy(gameObject);
      }
  }

But, when a child game object collides with the enemy it destroys the whole Player. Any ideas?

Physics events for child colliders bubble up to the game object with the rigidbody.

Generally if you don’t want this behaviour, they should be sibling game objects, and potentially use joints to maintain positions.
