when i ride on road sections with my daughter (11) i usually ride side by side and go single file where necessary with me at the back, that way i can make sure i'm not riding away from her.
if we have to ride past anywhere that i feel is particularly tricky i make sure to ride in a defensive primary position and try and make regular eye contact with any drivers and also make (friendly) hand gestures for drivers to slow down or back off if i feel people are driving too fast / close.
has your daughter done any cycle training through school etc?
