It says in Genesis that God himself blew man with the רוח, or "the wind". It is said that Man than was filled with נשמה, or "the Spirit that never dies". In some Jewish texts (Not all), this soul is considered nothing less than God himself.

Perhaps one could ask, "how much of the parent is in the child?"
It's a great question. I think that many Jews would say "some of the parent." but the child would largely be unconscious of it unless one begins to work on his sensitivity to the "parent within," if that makes any sense at all.
