Playing handicap match with my daughter who is new to chess. The rules: 1. Mission one, attack all her ponds with the sacrifice of my rook, horse, and Bishops. 2. Mission two, send all my ponds to the end and convert to only horses. 3. Mission three, force a stalemate.

I think your daughter would never learn to play chess well with those handicap rules. I suggest you remove your queen as handicap. If you find it too easy remove another knight. As she improves, reduce handicap to queen odds, then rook odds and so on.
