Very simple. Ask her to answer one question. "Why would a pitcher ever want to throw the ball over the plate if they could hitters out without doing so?" Home plate is a nice target, but really is irrelevant - its the umpire's strike zone and the batters' strike zones that you should be trying to work at the extreme limits of and expand.
And, IMO, an understanding of this concept is of even greater importance to the catcher, who, if she's not calling the pitches as I believe she should, should at least be providing the target.
