NUMBER CHANGE

If the sentence is singular, change it to the plural; if it is plural, change it to the singular.

Many young children eagerly rang doorbells in all the neighbourhoods on Halloween while their parents stood shivering in the cold on sidewalks or sat in cars parked at strategic locations watching their children.

Good job, Doris! But I would recommend taking a stand on the gender of the parent and child.

"His or her" sounds a little awkward.
