First of all Congratulations! That’s exciting news.
Now to your questions. I am not sure what other trainers have done, but I can share with you our experience.
Having had this happen many times in our trainings it is our experience that kids actually are easier to work with than adults. For them it is like an exciting game. They don’t have the expectations of “how it is” as adults already do. So you will have a far easier job as you don’t have to break through the hardened MOW of an adult.
Rule #1 is that the kid behaves like an adult in the training room. Not like a kid.
Rule #2 is that the parent and the child do not work together under any circumstance. You don’t want the parent to impose their MOW onto the child.
Rule #3 comes off rule #1 – they do all the exercises as directed by you to the best of their abilities.
Which means that you need to pay special attention in how you explain each technique so they understand it. Make a point of asking them if they get it, they understand what they need to do, and in the What If section you allow them and encourage them to ask questions. Be patient and allow them to express themselves all the while keeping to the rules of your training.
Show her how she can use this at school, with helping herself and other kids. So talk her language when you do metaphors or a answer her questions. Remember that even if she is required to behave like an adult, she is still a kid.
But all in all, this is wonderful.
This young daughter will learn all the things many others only wish they did at her age. Not to speak about the transformation with the mom.
Good luck, but I know you will do well.
