Parents New to CB - Saying hello!

[sk4uf]

Hello parents - new here so I thought I'd say hi. My son is 7.5 yrs old, on L4 team and has his first meet in about a month. He is looking good on rings and p-bars, probably about average on the other exercises but always smiling and enjoying himself. I hope it stays that way!

Thanks for the links to Dr. Ali on being a good gym parent - excellent advice and I will be reminding myself of her 8 points regularly!

Can anyone recommend other stickies/threads where a noob like me can learn about the various skills? Oh and the abbreviations used on this board, too?

Thanks!

Sean

Hi, Welcome to CB. There is a sticky somewhere but I will tell you the most common abbreviations are DD, DH or DS for Dear Daughter (or darn, or something else beginning with D).

Welcome! I believe stickys are in the beginning of each forum. Also searches may lead you to what you are interested in learning more about.
