DD holding knife and fork

So, DD 8yo coming 9 next month doesn't hold her knife and fork properly. The index finger isn't on the top of the knife etc. I don't think it helps that the table is a little high for even the adults by a couple of inches.

I want her to learn the correct way to hold cutlery. But I don't want to nag at her. She has the tendency to just say she isn't hungry if I even try to quietly show her.

Do I just ignore it and let the habit consolidate or keep on at her? I guess the truth is between the two. So I'd be interested to know opinions. Thanks.
