You need to give the following into your child pom.xml file to inherit from your parent which implies to inherit all profiles you have defined in your parent:

   <project ..>
      <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

      <parent>
        <groupId>TheGroupIdYourParentHas</groupId>
        <artifactId>TheArtifactIdYourParentHas</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
      </parent>
      ...
   </project>

BTW. You should think about using profiles for distinguishing between production and development. Usually you should simply call

mvn package

to produce the right package which is for production without using of any profile. I wrote an blog article to handle such things in a better way.
