In the Unity editor at the top left of the screen you will see the transformation tools "Move, rotate and scale". Right of them you will see the tool handle options, were it says Center change it to Pivot and you will rotate around the pivot point rather than the center.

If you are trying to do this via the GUI (like in the scene view), you will see a button called center left to the play button (and just below the Game Object Menu). Click it and you will see it has changed to pivot. Now your tool handle (thing you called center in your question) is placed on the parent object, not somewhere at the middle.

If you try to do this via a script, the pivot is always middle of the object on which the script is attached. Just check if you put attach the script to right one.
