You can do the close of the parent form from the child but to me that seems to break the encapsulation principle a little.

An alternative is to subscribe to the child form's closed event from the parent and then within the parent you can respond to that - see Winform form closed event for an implementation.

Pass in the parent form into the child form and call its close method in the closed event handler.
