# Responsive child theme function-sidebar.php

 * I am using Responsive theme and created a child theme too where I edit my files.
   I’d like to add some custom sidebars to custom templates. I learned I can use
   register sidebar function with array and add that to my template page. If I add
   this function under function-sidebar.php in mother theme, it shows under widget
   sections but when I put the <?php if ( !dynamic_sidebar( ‘custom-sidebar’ ) ):?
   > in the template in child theme the front site breaks.
    Also when I add the 
   function to function-sidebar.php in child theme, nothing happens.
 * Another question: when I add function.php in the main directory to my child theme
   the whole site breaks. I thought I can include any files from mother theme into
   child theme.
 * Any suggestions please?
    Thanks
