How to pass a reactive variable from child component to parent component in vue js composition api

I have two components on is the parent component and the other the child component, the parent component has a form field in this form field I can add additional form fields, this additional form field is added with the aid of a component, the form field in the parent has its own reactive variable and the addition component also has its own reactive variable, so when am about to submit I need to capture the reactive variable details in the child component so I can pass it as a form to the api.

I have tried a lot of the videos on youtube, majority of the videos suggest I use the defineProps() method to capture data from parent component to child, but of all the videos non was given on how to capture data from child to parent, I tried the method if it will work vice versa but it did not.

For Data Sharing between components you can use Custom Stateful Store Object or Pinia.

Check the Vue Docs on

Here is a very basic example of Custom Stateful Store Object

const { createApp, ref, toRef, toRefs } = Vue;

const myStore = {
  counter: ref(0),
  add: function() {
    this.counter++ 
  }   
}

const template = 'counter = {{counter}}<br/>' 

const CompA = {
  setup() {
    const { counter } = myStore
    return  { counter }
  },
  template: template
}

const CompB = {
  setup() {
    const { counter } = myStore
    return  { counter }
  },
  template: template
}

const App = {
  components: { CompA, CompB },
  setup() {
    const { counter, add } = myStore
    return  { counter, add }
  }
}

const app = createApp(App)
app.mount('#app')
#app { line-height: 1.75; }
[v-cloak] { display: none; }
<div id="app">
  CompA: <comp-a></comp-a>
  CompB: <comp-b></comp-b>
  App: counter = {{counter}}<br/>
  <button @click="add()">+1</button>
</div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue@3/dist/vue.global.prod.js"></script>
