handstand

He has all his events ready for the season except...he is scared to do his handstand on the big pbars. He has it down on the lower practice bars but is petrified to do it on high p-bars without a spot. Is this a common fear for level 5 boys?

Apologies for the big paragraph. I know it's awful to read, but I can't put in paragraph breaks. My dd has a hollow back. I have the same and my mother too. If I stand pressed against a wall, you can slide your arm behind my back. If I lie on the floor you can do the same and I would have to...
