I found a solution to my case, maybe it helps others too!
I had a tree model, which had two children, cube.002 was the bark of the tree, and pngwing was the leafs part as shown in below screenshot 
I simply unpacked the prefab (right click on the object from hierarchy >Prefab >Unpack Completely), reset the children's transforms (from top right corner in inspector) and then it solved the problem.
