Cartwheel tips needed please

First world problem I know but DD (7) is desperate to be able to execute a cartwheel. She doesn't seem to throw her legs up in a fluid motion it's as if she's touching the ground with her hands before she kicks her legs. I don't think I ever perfected them myself as a child so I'm not really any use trying to help her. Are there any tips that would help?

Its getting past the fear I think. I’ve shown it to dd a few times but I think the fear of falling on her head is holding her back. When I was at school all the girls did it together so you had to get over the fear.

It’s a wheel not a handstand! Ie one hand down at a time. Kids often seem to put both hands down at the same time and then they can’t rotate.
