Returning the correct path for a wordpress CHILD theme

I know wordpress quite well, but this is the first time that I am creating a child theme. I realized that I need to link everything differently in a child theme.

I got it to work for images by using "stylesheet_directly", like so:

  <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/icon.png" />

However, I am now trying to enqueue a javascript file in the child theme's functions.php I tried using "stylesheet_directory" again, but it returned a path of the parent's theme, and not the child theme.

Why does "stylesheet_directory" work for the image files in my child theme, but not for enqueing javascript files in my functins file?

Here is what I have in my functions. What else can I use to return the correct path?

wp_enqueue_script( 'ga-slider', bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') . '/js/ga-slider.js');

I have used get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead of yours bloginfo('stylesheet_directory') .
Ex.

wp_enqueue_script('script-name', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/script.js', array('jquery'),2, true );

you can use get_stylesheet_directory_uri() for relative path to the child theme directory. get_stylesheet_directory() will return absolute path of the child theme directory.
