 * What did you change in the header.php file in the child theme?

 * What do you mean nothing? If you have an empty header.php file in the child theme,
   that’s what shows up on your site for the header section.

 * Template files do not work the same way as style.css. You need to put a copy 
   of the entire file in the child theme and modify it there. Perhaps read again:
