kids are impressionable, its your job as well to nurture their interest. one way i could think of is that you learn or at least attempt to learn the piano together with her as a motivation, could help yourself too.
agreed, kids capabilities are beyond my imagination in fact. I tried to learn acoustic drum as hard as i can but both of hands and legs cant listen to my brain well. I tell my son this the tempo of that i expecting from Hi-hat (drum), he can instantly play right in front of me.
so far i learn 1-2 song from acoustic drum but other kind of music kinda a lot of "patterns" and i such an old man cant catch up easily.
Still, best to unleash your kids potential when they are young before the feel the living pressure when 20+ years old. Maybe that skills that they learnt when young would help them a lot in career in the future. that why i dont mind spending some bucks to buy instrument and music class.

share me experience here aaa.. my kids learn piano since 9 years old.. from start to 3-4 months with hands on training, teacher recommend to buy for home practise.
as 3 years of class, currently she now with level 2 yamaha.
must practise practise and practise..
for selection of Digital piano, with your budget. please have your model review, youtube.. or you can touch touch it.. buy with most "high end" u can.. i tell u why later here..
the same, my wife and i did learn a little bit by own.. yes ipad/ios apps.. just for fun laa..
when u get the high end model, the similarity of acoustic / classic piano play roles here..
- first the weighted keys.. acoustic / classic piano key are very very heavy.. u play play 20min, fingers are tired.. yes we in learning process. from current piano level she are, she could feel "other model that very cheap".. she will feel meh, no good, not feel with lower end model..
remember, piano are using fingers memory.. u need to feel it..
- second the sound .. yes for digital , almost none able to have perfect match sound.. but must choose which are very very good laaa.. from class, she learn to light finger and heavy key press.. here come to play, once u with lower end model, the sound are very out. light or heavy key press sound same! it totally failed there..
- next quality ofcos, and extraaa port, usb, bluetooth..
i tell u, when she at level 2, she can play a bit of own song.. she can play new sound on radio.. practise without book.. and for me, a reminder that, she start ask acoustic / classic piano here already..
fuhshssss.. till level 5 or above, yes laaa can target upright piano.. now not yet..
*ohhh dont buy digital piano through music class / teacher (ehemmm they receive commission, or bias to finished stock)
I bought from Music Bliss last few days, so far they recommended Korg or Roland which below RM3k which "near" to acoustics piano setup, weighted keyboard, piano stand, pedals, bench.
Best part is digital piano can have different kind of piano sounds even included with those rare piano like pipe organ. it is good exposure to educate kids what kind of pianos available in this world before stepping into professional level.
