So there's no way to use a type object as a generic param?

class Parent
{
    Dictionary<string, Child<T>> _d;

    public Parent(Type T)
    {
        _d = new Dictionary<string, Child<T>>();
    }
}

class Parent<T>
{
    Dictionary<string, Child<T>> _d;

    public Parent()
    {
        _d = new Dictionary<string, Child<T>>();
    }
}
