Children is already plural which means that no -s is needed -s isn't needed in the verb as well since the subject is in the plural i.e. Children make mistakes in (an article?) dark place.

Should it be set off with commas? Thanks! My non-linguistic view thinks not. I may be wrong but one of the "as well as" usages has a prepositional property which is typically used after an article "and" is used in the main clause. Example: My hobbies are swimming, jogging, fishing, and dancing as well as hiking. Another usage pattern is that it has the element of "and".

You can also say: "Monday is the day between Sunday and Tuesday." Or: "Monday is a day of the week." "Monday is the day of a week between Sunday and Tuesday" is wrong because it refers to a particular week rather than a generalized week. You are defining what Monday is. "Monday is the day of week between Sunday and Tuesday" is wrong because "week" (a noun) requires an article (either "a" or "the") before it.
