What is the replacement for the child selector?

Question

Since IE6 does not support the child selector (see http://kimblim.dk/csstest/#ex1), what is the alternative when dealing with this browser?

I do not want to modify the m

You can use jQuery, not a pretty solution, but it is one option that I have used in the past:

$("parent > child").each(function() {
    $(this).addClass("child-styles");
}

You are obviously going to want to wrap this in some specialized IE6 only check. And probably want a style sheet wrapped in the IE6 IF statement to add these specialized styles.
