Abbreviation reference

[mario]

Where can I find a reference about all abbreviations we can read here like DD and EL (I know there but not all)?

(Sorry, I'm really new here  )

[Skylark]

Mario, welcome to the forum and we are thrilled to have you here! By the way, my son's name is Arthur too  !

We actually do not have such reference guide here, but it is a great idea to put one together! So to start with, how about everyone pitch in and add some abbreviations and their meaning 

Then later on, we can create a master list. Many hands make the job lighter!

I will start <

EL-- Early Learning
LR - Little Reader
LM - Little Math
LMs - Little Musician
YBCR - Your Baby Can Read
YCCR - Your Child Can Read
YCCD - Your child can discover

Thank you Skylark for your kindness and your help. I think this master list will help a lot of people.

Mario ( and others!), if you com across an abreviation you are not familiar with -- kindly jot it down, and I am sure one of our forum members would be able to decipher it  !

SM- Soft Mozartk
TW- Tweedle Wink
DH and DW- darling husband and darling wife.
DD5- Darling Daughter aged 5
DS2- Darling son aged 2.  (Why they are darling as opposed to sweet or what not is anybody's guess)
FWIW- for what it's worth

One I haven't seen here but was revealed to me on facebook today:  TIL= today I learned.

It's also common when talking about a product to hereafter abbreviate it.  So we could be talking about The Magic School Bus, and even though it's not a popular acronym, the thread might start using MSB and the meaning is implied from the context.

EEECF - Early Education for Every Child Foundation  (Charitable Arm of BrillKids -- www.eeecf.org)
BK - BrillKids
SOTW - The Story of the World
ST - Signing Time
RS Math - RightStart Math
SM - Singapore math
AP - Attachment Parenting/Parent
EBF - exclusively breastfeeding
EC - Elimination Communication
CIO - Cry it Out ( method)
BW - baby wearing



Tamsyn, thank you for clarifying how we come up with all these crazy abbreviations here      But abbreviations tend to be a trend of busy parents typing with one hand

LO = little one. Refers to babies mostly. That one stumped me.
I also learnt DH, DS, DD as Dear husband, dear son and dear daughter.

[mario]

Wow, this is really great guys!

I think that we have now in this thread a great guide at least to use here in this forum 

[Mandabplus3]

Yeah don't add too many more or people will start using them and we will all sound like we are on a grown ups forum! 

[Tamsyn]

CM- Charlotte Mason
TMT- Teaching My Toddlers- ie, Tonya.  She's special because she has her own acronym.      Hers really threw me at first until I thought like a detective. 

[Mandabplus3]

Oh yeah! TMT is an important one to add to the list!

[Kimba15]

Mandab = Mandabplus3 also important to remember 

IMHO In my humble opinion
BLC Baby learns Chinese
WTL Wink to Learn
RBL Right Brain Learning

[Tamsyn]

My husband always knows when I'm talking about my BrillKids friends when they have unusual names.  "TMT says this", "I really like how Wolfwind is ..."    That's changing a bit now I know some of you on facebook. 

[Korrale4kq]

JG= Jones Geniuses.

PW - Play Wisely

What is kudos?? Not sure if I spelled it right
