Indeed, well this is strange. Coaching badge by ChessPub!?  Not sure such a thing is advisable.

You are having a laugh pal. On yer bike.

Hi

Notice that the question here is not about how to train but how to prepare this specific child for a specific event. I think some knowledge about the child is needed in order to give advice. My experience: I took my sons to a national champigonship last year (7 and 9 yrs at the time) and they did poor because i did not take in to account that this would be their first big event and I did not prepare them properly. They were not too good at notation and this took a lot of their attention, I had not prepared them good enough on time management (spending time, that is), they were use to playing too many short time-control tournaments with lots of games and not so used to focusing on each single game (ok, so i Loose a game - no big deal, I had a good position and im feeling good so I will just win the next - attitude which is not good in a 5 round tournament).
This year I am organizing a small pre-tournament for local participants and we will work on attitude, time-control and notation.

best,

You are not going to instill any new knowledge that the poor child will be able to apply in less than a month.

10-15 minutes a day of random easy-ish tactics.  Go over a few most common openings, particularly the commonest traps she might see.  Remind her to take her time and check for blunders.  Sit on her hands if necessary.  If it is legal, have her write the move down and blunder check before executing the move.

I presume your people skills are adept enough to communicate in an appropriate manner to this small child that so long as she tries her best, the result does not matter AT ALL.   But that presumption seems inconsistent with the fact that this thread exists in the first place...

It would be helpful certainly to know your level Chandra. Not possible really to try to help without knowing this.
I am also curious re: the parents and the approach to coach. 
Yes, the posts do seem a bit 'off'. Are you, perchance, aka slaughter?

Edit/update: 
Chandra asked in a pm what I mean by 'level', so stating here. 
Rating is obviously a good start, yes. 
Also worth noting: playing experience, general know-how about chess.

Why are you telling us what resources are helpful? Although others are giving you the benefit of the doubt, this whole conversation seems somehow off. But then, that's nothing new.

Now here's a frightening thought. Speaking of "somehow off," imagine a child entrusted to, instead of chandrasekharkoravi, a socially-strange elderly male anti-semite in Poughkeepsie, NY named sloughter. God forbid. It's this thought that really bothers me. The real Chandrasekhar, by the way, was an early theorist of black holes whose ideas were doubted by Einstein and especially opposed by Einstein's ally and experimental verifier Eddington at Trinity College, Cambridge (where I spent the summer a few years ago). Since Chandrasekhar was right on one of the few points where Einstein and Eddington were wrong, and since Chandrasekhar  was not Jewish, he would seem to be an attractive avatar to an anti-semite who is obsessed with attacking Einstein, as is sloughter.
