Ahh... I forgot about the in-game shuffle. For that she simply holds deck sideways (landscape) and grabs cards from middle and puts them in front (top of deck), then grab middle and put cards in back (bottom of deck) repeat repeat repeat. I can't remember anyone having a prob with her doing this... except her... and in those cases she has judge or opponent shuffle for her (but that was last year at 5... big girl at 6 can now shuffle mostly on own). :lol:
Notebook... oh yeah.,,, my daughter has a list of "ooops" and reminders that she keeps and reviews each week. Always ends with "do your best and have fun" though :wink:
This year her main focus needs to be a better understanding of EVERYTHING the opponent is doing and why they are doing it (as well as being on the lookout for "junior mistakes"). One common Junior mistake we see is they confuse "flip damage attacks" that have "+ number of heads" versus those that are "x times number of heads". Most Juniors I see treat 20x attacks as 20+ attacks (for example: flip 3 coins, for each heads this attack does 20 damage.... many kids if they get all tails will still do 20dmg since they are confusing the "x" with a "+". In fact, with young Juniors I see this more often than not. The other most common Junior mistake I see is evolving and leveling up errors. Many young Juniors will evolve the same turn they play lower level card or will Level-up a Lv.X on the bench instead of when it is active. These aren't things they do to "Cheat" they are, imho, just simply "mistakes". I'm sure there are others but I think its important to coach my daughter not to make make those mistakes and to also be on the lookout for them.
