title: CSS Select Grandchild Element without adding new HTML, IDs, or !important
body: <p>I am learning about parent and child elements and I am trying to figure out how to select/style a grandchild element that is nested inside 3 div's without adding additional classes, ID's, or !important to resolve it. The parent div has a class of "grandchild" and there are two other div's that share the same class. I need to style only "Aaron" without selecting the other p tags associated with same class "grandchild".</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="parent"&gt;
    &lt;!-- red --&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Jane&lt;/p&gt;
  
    &lt;div class="child"&gt;
      &lt;!-- blue --&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;Jim&lt;/p&gt;
  
      &lt;div class="grandchild"&gt;
        &lt;!-- green --&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Aaron&lt;/p&gt; &lt;!--------------------Style ONLY this one-----&gt;
  
        &lt;div class="greatgrandchild"&gt; 
          &lt;!-- pink --&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;Victoria&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
  
        &lt;div class="greatgrandchild greatgrandchild2"&gt;
          &lt;!-- purple --&gt;
          &lt;p&gt;Devin&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;!-- grandchild2 --&gt;

          &lt;p&gt;Julie&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;

  <p>I have reviewed other answers on Stack Overflow but couldn't find my situation.
  Below shows the routes to tried and solve it in CSS.</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>/*styles Aaron &amp; George*/
  .parent &gt; .child &gt; div:first-of-type &gt; p:nth-child(1) {
    color: green;
  }
  
  /*Styles Aaron &amp; George*/
  div[class="grandchild"] &gt; p {
    color:green;
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="parent"&gt;

  <p>I have tried a couple hours on this and just can't wrap my head around how to do it. </p>
