let paragraphs = section.children;

for (let i = 0; i < paragraphs.lengh; i += 1) {
  paragraphs[i].style.color ='blue';
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Child Traversal</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <section>
            <p>This is the first paragraph</p>
            <p>This is a slightly longer, second paragraph</p>
