Hi there,

The above documentation shows an implementation where they have added css to parent and child components, can you try checking it once?

Let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as the best answer so that it can help others in the future.  

Thanks.

Hi,

A parent component can style a child component, but it styles it as a single element. A parent can’t reach into a child. Let’s add a c-child selector to parent.css that defines a border around the child component.
  
/* parent.css */
h1 {
    font-size: xx-large;
}

c-child {
    display: block;
    border: 2px solid red;
}
Parent in h1  and child in red outline
