Since you're using classes, one way is to use a common base

the Sprite instance, you might eliminate the dependency on the 
parent and have it update the Sprite's position when it's 
updated instead of maintaining a position separately.

class Parent {
   private Sprite sprite;

   void updatePosition(int x, int y)
   {
       sprite.x = x;
       sprite.y = y;
   }
}

Thanks a lot for this. I was trying not to overcomplicate things 
this early in development but I think in me holding back I made 
things more complex then they needed to be.
