This is a 6.1 update. When you are using segues- all the advice is good, but you also have to invoke the segue. So - to add to the advice and summarize it

// ... assuming we just added a new row - which is one use of what this thread is trying to do

/* get new count - this is the row we are going to highlight - 0 based */
 int newIndex = [dataArrayUnderlyingTable count]-1; 

/* make it look pretty by highlighting it */
    NSIndexPath *nip = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:newIndex inSection:0];
    [[self tableView] selectRowAtIndexPath:nip animated:YES scrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom];

/* run the code in the following method so it is not missed */
    [self tableView:[self tableView] didSelectRowAtIndexPath:nip];

/* now 'tap' on it ... or simulate it */
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier: @"viewChildDetails" sender: self];
