+# Forcing A Child Remount With The Key Prop
+
+There are a couple `prop` names that have reserved usage in React. One of
+those is `key`. We generally use `key` when we are rendering a list of
+things. It is a way of uniquely identifying each element in a list so that
+React minimizes re-rendering when parts of the list change.
+
+We can flip this on its head and utilize `key` as a way of forcing a remount
+and re-render of a child component.
+
+Imagine I have a component that does a number of things including rendering
+a component with some internal state, such as a counter.
+
+```javascript
+class MyComponent extends React.Component {
+  state = {
+    remountKey: (new Date()).getTime(),
+  }
+
+  resetCounter = () => {
+    this.setState({
+      remountKey: (new Date()).getTime(),
+    });
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    return (
+      <div>
+        {/* some other stuff in my component */}
+
+        <Counter key={this.state.remountKey} />
+        <button onClick={this.resetCounter}>Reset Counter</button>
+      </div>
+    );
+  }
+}
+```
+
+I can force this `Counter` component to remount, thus resetting its state
+simply by passing it a new `key` value. The `button` can trigger this by
+updating the `remountKey` value.
