How do I search through the children of children?

so I’m trying to figure out how to go through the children of children, and the children of those children. I have no idea how to achieve this, the most I can think of is

for i, v in pairs(insert object here) do
end

however this only goes through the first “generation” of children (or whatever it’s called), and not adding a new for i v in pair loop would be preferable, because then there would not be a limit and would likely be less code written (definitely if there are 10+ layers of children and parents). there was something that I assume did just that (GetDecendants(), FindFirstDecendant()) but when using it just gives an error stating that it is not enabled. is there any way I can do this, or will I have to resort to putting multiple for i v in pairs loops within for i v in pairs loops?

if you do :GetChildren() on :GetChildren(), do Object:GetDescendants()
