Think of the parent as the general idea of what you need to do, and the children are the next steps. Rather than a parent attribute affecting the child, it is more like waiting to do the child task supercedes waiting to do the parent. Parents just don't show up yet, not active. The child has all its own attributes such as importance and urgency but there is an influence by inheriting certain attributes from the parent as child is created. Experiment with what is inherited, I don't remember.
Once the attributes of a child are set, then it doesn't consider how important the parent was. I hope this helps. It can be hard to see but it was carefully planned out and I'm glad it always works the same even on different platforms.
