I'm surprised to here that this is the default. I have a child window
that is NOT coming to the top when I click on its parent and vice versa.
Mine are not brought forward. 

It is a PythonCard native child window

#child window for editing the raw text in an entry
path = os.path.join(self.stack.app.applicationDirectory,
'pcTextEditing')
rsrc =
res.ResourceFile(model.internationalResourceName(path)).getResource()
self.textEditWindow = pcTextEditing(self.stack, self,
rsrc.stack.backgrounds[0])

I also have a wxpython child window and it is not brought forward.
In the parent:

self.iechild = IeChildFrame(self.panel, -1, "browser
preview",wx.wxDefaultPosition,(450, 450))
self.iechild.iep.ie.Navigate("about:blank")

in the child
class IeChildFrame(wx.wxFrame):
    def __init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos, size):
        wx.wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title, pos, size,
                         wx.wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE |
wx.wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR)
