The reason it doesn't automatically save the children is because a save operation is very expensive, and Rails doesn't keep track of which children you have updated (which in and of itself would be very ugly and perform poorly). The solution is to explicitly save any children you have modified.
I would certainly avoid looping over and saving the children unless you are modifying all the children. Otherwise you should only be saving the ones you updated.
