Lots of good advice here, thanks!
I'll keep it all positive and hands off.
I've been ensuring she gets to try as many things as possible, I don't think specialisation is that useful early on. I've trained her how to teep and how to (American football) tackle but I reckon we'll shy away from anything too contact cos of CTE etc. Won't stop her if she chooses something tho.
With both my kids I've done what we call a smash hug everyday when they're off to nursery/school, they run full bore into a hug which often almost knocks me over. They know implicitly how to keep their head out of the way. I took em to rugby tots and the girl forgot it was non contact and de cleated a 4yr old boy. His father said he wasn't even mad, it was such a good tackle
You sound like you're doing a good job, remember to give yourself a pat on the back sometimes..........
