Make sure the puppy is NOT being aggressive and is instead just playing rough with her as opposed to submissively greeting like you describe her doing for everyone else. The puppy is probably treating the daughter like she is on her same level like another puppy instead of someone to be submissive towards. When a puppy plays to rough with another puppy it stops playing and quits giving the rough puppy any attention. That is why I suggested having the daughter lay on the puppy (holding it down) until puppy completely quits trying to get up. And only letting the puppy back up when it is NOT trying. That is the ultimate "I am the boss of you" in dog.
When a puppy jumps up, you say "no" and raise your knee so the dog runs into it then immediately drop your knee. Learns pretty quick that if it tries to jump up on someone they will run into a knee.
You don't push a dog away with your hands. Hands are for petting, rubbing, and doling out treats NOT discipline devices. If you use your hands to push it away it can be interpreted as "Lets play push away." Kind of like if you try to pull a toy out of the puppies mouth it becomes "tug of war" so you tell them to drop and shove it uncomfortably harder into their mouth. It's the opposite!
My alpha dog would bite. Not in anger but bit and snapped as part of playing. Took forever to get her broke of that. A full year. Ended up having to be like a momma dog grab her and bite her back on her nose to stop that. Only had to bite her twice. I think part of what makes an alpha dog is that they are very stubborn so it took extreme measures to get her to submit.
