} Is anyone aware of a more efficient way to implement this ?

Not in general, but it depends what you are doing. Rather than
going down to the child and then going back and worrying about what the
parent was, it might be simpler to do whatever is necessary at the level
of the parent (ie in the templates for p and friends).  Hard to say
without knowing more context.
