How to make Block Container with Inline-Block Child in CSS - css

Question

I have this problem going on:
This is the format in which the relationship heirarchy parent-child is maintained.
<div class="ContainerTitle">SYLLABUS:
<div class="DownloadThis"></div>
<div class="ViewThis"></div>
<div class="showHint"></div>
</div>
I wanted the property of inline-block for .DownloadThis and .ViewThis so I defined them as inline-block.
I have defined .ContainerTitle as block
However, the property of .ContainerTitle over there in the screenshot can be clearly observed as inline-block
What is happening? Why is my child container overriding the definition of its parent?(or is this really happening?? or something else?)
What I want to do:
Make .ContainerTitle a display:block so that the next <div>Sixth (6th) Semester</div> containers will go to the next line... instead of sticking to the previous container awkwardly!
I want the whole .ContainerTitle to behave as a block and then all the divs inside it to behave as inline-block
I want to get a result like this:
Below is my snippet. Please look at it and tell me what needs to be done :)
.ContainerTitle {
display: block;
/* WHY IS THIS^ NOT WORKING?????*/
background: #fff;
float: left;
padding: 15px;
padding-left: 15px;

font-size: Large;
color: #000;
text-align: left;
cursor: pointer;
transition: all .1s ease-out;
}
.DownloadThis,
.ViewThis {
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
