Hi SFDC,

I am considering following details to meet ur requirements:
Parent Object: Account
Parent Object Multiselect Picklist : TestMultiselect__c
Child object: Contact

Write trigger on Account : 
trigger CreateChilds on Account(after insert, after update) {
	List<Contact> newContactList = new List<Contact>();
	if(trigger.isAfter && (trigger.isInsert || trigger.isUpdate)) {
		for(Account objAcc: trigger.new) {
			if(objAcc.TestMultiselect__c != null) {
				for(String strEachValue : objAcc.TestMultiselect__c.split(';')) {
					newContactList .add(new Contact(FirstName='Test', LastName='Test')); //add all required fields here.
				}
			}
		}
	}
	
	if(!newContactList.isEmpty()){
		insert newContactList;
	}
}


Note: Might be some update needed according to ur requiremnets.

Thanks
Niraj
