ask for suggestions for
anything that a child her age might find inspiring?

Based on my 15 year old daughter's experience:
- handling a glider's wing and sitting in the cockpit
- just being in control of a "large" "dangerous" machine
- a winch launch (that really was really responsible for
hooking her, unlike an aerotow)
- building her own rollercoaster in the sky, both in terms
of thermalling and basic aerobatics
- my not interfering - it was between her and her instructors
- my telling her she didn't have to continue if she
didn't want to, or because she'd flown a complete flight,
or done some spinning, or had her first solo, ...
- helping out at the launchpoint
- "ordering" ancient men around at the launchpoint - and
having them "obey"

In other words, it wasn't just the flying!

Let's throw videos into the mix,
too: she's already seen "Windborn," and "Fly Away Home".

This was discussed in the thread
"pleasant" Soaring video on youtube??
