I swear I read on this forum last year someone advising setting kids' angles at 0/0. IIRC she was an instructor who cited something about kids' biomechanics, but I couldn't find that thread.

I think she said that mimicking an adult position was not optimum because although the stance might look "right" to us, kids' lower extremities are different enough that our "right" and their "right" are different.
