Site slowed down – error log says problem in line 219/220

Hi,
The child list plugin is an excellent timesaver, but I’m having a lot of errors reported.

I have pasted two lines below, but my error log repeats this hundreds of times a day.

I don’t want to remove the plugin, but when I deactivate it the site editing returns to normal speed. Can you advise what line 219/218 are failing to do in the sb_child_list.php file please?

this is my site https://www.transdev-online.co.uk the plugin is used on the pages in the grey horizontal menu.

Thanks.
