Try without foot retention.
If you have the 'knack' of the whole skid thing, its just as easy, if not more - to do so by tucking your foot under the leading pedal & locking it in position.
This will affirm in 'her' mind the correct body position, and understanding that its about pulling front/up on the leading pedal & not pushing down on the rear.
