If she can't push with the lower hand, then don't try to teach her to push with lower hand. For that matter, don't teach anyone to push with lower hand for so many reasons. Teach them to get both hands high at take off which will take care of a lot of concerns. If you continue to try and teach your young lady to push with the lower hand at take off you'll both be frustrated.
