# Child theme question..

 * What’s the proper way to attach the parents stylesheet to the child theme.
 * I’ve done this in the past with [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/).
   I have also read recent tutorials on wpbeginner suggesting the same (other places
   also). Also, I have downloaded various child themes for twentyfourteen from wordpress.
   org and they all use [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/).
 * However, the codex says you should use the wp_enqueue_style() .
 * Which is proper? Thanks.

 * It says wp_enqueue_style in Codex because that covers a wider range of people.
   The reason being that some themes don’t just have 1 stylesheet, they have multiple
   that are enqueued at different times. The example in Codex allows you to enqueue
   your Child Theme stylesheet right at the end of the queue, which is a good thing.
 * You don’t have to worry about that for the Twenty Fourteen theme. Just use [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/).
