aura:method -'not a function' error

My requirement is that when i check the checkboxes and click on delete button the records need to be deleted.
I am getting the following error while trying to click on delete button(created in parent cmp) which accesses the delete method in its child component.
Please help as I am not able to find out what is wrong..

"This page has an error. You might just need to refresh it. Action failed: c:Budgetdisplay$controller$delparent [chn.deletemethod is not a function] Failing descriptor: {c:Budgetdisplay$controller$delparent}"

Apologies if my requirement is unclear. I have placed the delete button in the parent component and not in the child component,hence i am using aura:method.But its not working and i am getting the error mentioned iny post
sfdcMonkey.comsfdcMonkey.com
you are create <aura:method name="deletemethod" action = "{!c.delete}" access="global"/> on child component and call it from parent component, can you share all codes (Lightning component + apex + js) here OR my email id sfdcmonkey@gmail.com so i can help you to solve this issue

Thanks
