Your question needs clarification. Please describe clearly: what Controls are on the MDIParentForm. What Controls are on the first MDIChildForm you create. What do those Controls do ?

This is not how MDI child works. A form can be either MDI child, MDI parent, or none or them. MDI design is already very inconvenient for the users, but you are trying to do something even worse.

Here is the idea: who needs MDI, ever? Why torturing yourself and scaring off your users?
Do yourself a great favor: do not use MDI at all. You can do much easier to implement design without it, with much better quality. MDI is highly discouraged even by Microsoft, in fact, Microsoft dropped it out of WPF and will hardly support it. More importantly, you will scare off all your users if you use MDI. Just don't. Please see:

I can explain what to do instead. Please see my past answers:
