^^^^^ This. Time enough for the other type of ride!
Also, she's young. The last thing I think you would want to do is turn her off. My daughter is a soccer player. I offer her opportunities to play together, and we do frequently, but I don't push, except when I tease her and tell her to take a lap, (but she asked me to do that). She has now taken to practicing on her own when I'm busy or not around. One of her besties was really pushed into practicing tennis by her dad. But once she started winning matches, she really put the hammer down, by herself. I think you have to go by feel, and understand your kid.
Boy doesn't that sound brilliant...
