You can't; though if you're using Saxon 7.x and XSLT 2.0 you might like
to look at how the new facility called "tunnel parameters" can help you.

Your subject line, incidentally, suggests that you are still a bit
muddled about XSLT concepts. The variable is not defined "in the parent
node". It is defined in the template rule that matches the parent node.
