How to kill child process running in background

Hi,

I have 2 shell scripts which runs parallely.
And each script runs 2 child processes simultaniously one after the another.
i have given timeout to run 8hrs for each shell script.
if it exceeds time limit it has to kill the child processes of the process
which exceeds time limit but its killing all the child processes of the
other script also.

Can u guys help me in this issues.
