There are a lot of ways to do this here are two:

Here is my preferred method (only if the script you are looking for occurs only once in the children)

enemy myscript = gameObject.GetComponentInChildren(); enemy.health = 90;

This is a little bit more specific method (specifies the child gameobjects name)

enemy myscript = GameObject.Find("child").GetComponent(); enemy.health = 90;

Accessing components - for scripts on the same object

Accessing game objects - for scripts on a different object

Or maybe slightly more relevant

GetComponentInChildren
