Women Headstand: Easier version to learn, Regular Tripod or Forearm?

[melissaallen59425]

What is the easiest version of the handstand between these two, that is easier to teach children? Regular Headstand or Forearm Headstand? I can't tell anymore since its been a while. Are there any easier versions with the legs up?

Regular:

Forearm:

We start with the teddy bear stand. Basically a frog stand with the head on the ground.

When I was little I only learned regular. Headstands were not a significant skill, though. They don't build on anything, other than getting you used to being upside down before handstands.

I would have the kids start with a "tripod". They are on their head but with their knees on their elbows. Then have them extend their legs up, on soft mats of course.
