Overview
Child paragraphs are nested within paragraphs, making them child/sub-paragraphs by definition.
By nested, a paragraph is indented in relation to the paragraph above it.

Keyboard Shortcuts
Along with the aforementioned paragraph shortcuts, there are other related keyboard shortcuts that can help make your content creation and updating processes smoother.
You can view them by clicking on the 4-key button on the left of the document content.
Undo/Redo Paragraph Creations
In case any mistakes were believed to be made in terms of paragraphs you've created across a session on a document, you can undo them with "Ctrl/Cmd + Z", and then again if needed on the same fashion you can redo the paragraph creations with "Ctrl/Cmd + Y" in case you realized they were indeed correct.
This also applies to moving and deleting paragraphs.
Notes
