MDI forms and controls

I have a problem with a MDI project. I created the
parent form with controls on it and now I don't need any
of those on the children form. I need to be able to hide
those controls but I guess I need to make some reference
back to the parent form to do that and then add the code
to set visible to false. I can't seem to get the
reference back to the parent form. Help!!!!!
