This is behavior by design.

quoting from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.showintaskbar.aspx:

If a form is parented within another form, the parented form is not displayed in the Windows taskbar.

If you need multiple windows of one application shown in the taskbar, don't use MdiParent/MdiChild.

There is a hack which may work for you, but it is likely not sustainable (may break in future versions of Windows).
