I would listen for the change event of the parent component (TN has one, I assume Accordian is the same) and just track if its the first time a component has become active. You could also listen for the creationComplete event of each child, though I am not sure of the specifics off the top of my head to access the yet-to-be-created children's creationComplete events.
