Thinking and trying to find the best move- those are two tendencies you don't want to remove.

Sounds like you are too serious to coach a 6 year old player. Maybe try encouragement.

She is 6. Let her play. Let her have fun. Stop trying to fix her. Encourage her.

If she was older, you could maybe find somebody who understands chess to go over the positions where she had problems if she wants. (I see you lost all the games you played here so maybe you should get somebody else.)

However, I doubt if she has the patience for such things.

Let her just play.
