Angular2+ File Upload with ng2-file-upload - Child component keeps calling Parent Component functions

Question

I have a parent component in which I have 2 input type="file" elements which call the function getFileForParent() on file change :

<input type="file" (change)="getFileForParent()" />

And in my child component I have one :

<input type="file" (change)="getFileForChild()" />

but whenever I select a file on the child component the parents getFileForParent is called. I am using ng2-file-upload.

Parent ts:

getFileForParent(){
    if(this.uploaderForParent.queue[0].file.type != 'application/PDF'){
        this.showError("Please select pdf files only");
        return;
    }
    this.uploaderForParent.uploadAll();
}

Child ts:

getFileForChild(){
    if(this.uploaderForChild.queue[0].file.type != 'application/PDF'){
        this.showError("Please select pdf files only");
        return;
    }
    this.uploaderForChild.uploadAll();
}
