Squeeze: try a "Flapper".
A small piece of semi-ridgid fabric or soft plastic,
Attached (sew to, epoxyglued to, etc) an elastic band.
Size the band so it fits "snugly" over DD'supper thigh.
The "flap" should stick outward from the upper thigh by about 2".
Use this as a trainer to achieve brush.
It will give tactile feedback, and allow DD to "hone in" on getting actual brush, while not having to attempt it cold-turkey before she has any kind of consistiency, and wacking her side hard as a result.
If a 2" flap is too difficult to start, make it 4".
When dd can make contact with the 4" flap on better than 2/3 of her pitches, then halve the flap to 2". When she can grt greater than 2/3 contact w the 2", then it's time to lose the flap, and strive to get body brush contact.
I just went through this process w my 10u DD, and it worked really well!
