Link layers to bending path

Hi everyone. I have a simple character created from a stroke with a rounded line cap. It bounces a ball up and down with it's head and bottom half. I can't get the eyes and mouth to move with the path as the head moves up and down when linked to the layer so I've been moving them frame by frame which looks rubbish. If you have any ideas that would be great. Thank you

If you are animating the path, you could select the path in the timeline, open Create Nulls From Paths.jsx from the Window menu, select Nulls follow points, then parent the eyes to the null that was created from the left-most null.
