Put the child in a layout in the parent. For e.g.

MyParent::MyParent( QWidget* parent = 0 )
 : QWidget( parent )
{
    MyChild* child = new MyChild( this );
    QVBoxLayout* layout = new QVBoxLayout;
    layout->addWidget( child );
    setLayout( layout );
}

The layout will automatically resize your child when the parent is resized. 
Take a look at the examples and docs relating to the Qt Layout System.

HTH,
