Extending Theme Options to Child Themes in Wordpress

I have purchased the Honest theme. I have also created a child theme for some look/feel changes. In my child theme I have also created an additional custom post-type.

For some reason the Honest theme options are not available in my child theme dashboard. Since I have a custom post-type I don't want to simply use the parent theme because any updates will overwrite my custom post-type.

Is there a way to make the parent theme options available in a child theme? If so, can you point me toward a direction of that solution?

Hard to say without seeing the actual source code.

If you're willing to use the parent theme, you can put the code that registers the custom post type in a plugin of your own. Must-use plugins are great for this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins

You can also put your style mods there, e.g. enqueue an extra stylesheet that overrides the styles from the parent theme: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_style
