Is this possible in MySQL?:
SELECT
parent.id,
parent.someColumn,
(SELECT count(*) FROM child_table_1 as c1 WHERE c1.parent_id =
parent.id) as cnt1,
(SELECT count(*) FROM child_table_2 as c2 WHERE c2.parent_id =
parent.id) as cnt2
FROM parent
Not sure if this would give you the data you want -- I tend to use this
form instead of JOINs with A => B and A => C, but I mostly am using MS SQL
Server.

Sorry, forgot the ON clauses:
SELECT parent.id, parent.someColumn, c1.cnt, c2.cnt
FROM parent
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT child_table_1.parent_id,count(child_table_1.id) as cnt
FROM child_table_1
GROUP BY child_table_1.parent_id
