You should use JSON stringfy in order to save in the environment. after that use the Pre-request Script in order to add query params and JSON parse to get data from the environment. follow these steps as a sample code.

1- pm.environment.set("key", JSON.stringfy(object))
2- go to Pre-request Script
3- var data = JSON.parse(pm.environment.get("key"))
4- pm.request.url.addQueryParams([`param=${data.child}`])

environment variables are just text, so you might need to strigify the json response object and parse it before executing the next request. There are pre-requests tests that you could use to read and parse the environment variable.
