By default the has_many associations are *not* eagerly
loaded along
with 'parent'. If you want them eagerly loaded you can
force AR to
eagerly load the associated model(s) by using an :include
option on
your find statement:
Parent.find(:first, :conditions=>[...],
:include=>'my_favorite_child')
Doing this generally produces a SQL join so you can make one
trip to
the DB rather than a series of trips.
