change creation date of parent folder as well as all child objects

I am running a script to change the creation date of files/folders however although it changes the folders and files within a folder it does not change the date of the actual parent folder. the script is below, could anyone advise what needs changed.

# Get the files
$gFiles = Get-ChildItem -recurse G:\
# Loop through them all
$gFiles | ForEach-Object {
    # Set the creation date without returning any output
    ($_.CreationTime = '10/08/2014 1:00') |Out-Null
    # Test if the previous operation was successful:
    if($?)
    {
        # Success, create an object containing the Path and status
        New-Object PSObject -Property @{
            "FilePath" = $_.FullName
            "Result"   = "Success"
        }
    }
    else
     {
        # Success, create an object containing the Path and status
        New-Object PSObject -Property @{
            "FilePath" = $_.FullName
            "Result"   = "Failed"
        }
    }
# Export the objects containing the result to a .CSV file
} |Export-Csv -LiteralPath "C:\pslog.csv" -Delimiter ";" -NoTypeInformation -Force

You'll need to include as Get-ChildItem only enums the child filesysteminfos.

Something like this - 

$gFiles = (Get-ChildItem -recurse G:\) + (Get-Item G:\)
