Display child pages on homepage template

I figured it out. It looks as if the Codex never referenced the one parameter I needed to make it work in the Codex. I checked out this site here for a full list of parameters in the arrays http://www.billerickson.net/code/wp_query-arguments/

I needed to use post_parent and not child_of or parent. Fixed.
