How to create a template to show child terms of a MAIN taxonomy

A taxonomy archive is a collection of posts, not terms. Even if you loaded the taxonomy template, it wouldn’t display anything, since the loop displays posts, not terms. You need to implement the display of terms yourself in a custom page template.
