How to call function on child component on parent events

Context

In Vue 2.0 the documentation and others clearly indicate that communication from parent to child happens via props.

Question

How does a parent tell its child an event has happened via props?

Should I just watch a prop called event? That doesn’t feel right, nor do alternatives ($emit/$on is for child to parent, and a hub model is for distant elements).

Example

I have a parent container and it needs to tell its child container that it’s okay to engage certain actions on an API. I need to be able to trigger functions.
