Um, keep her away from weapons forms, then.
I used to do a lot of (organized) fighting. I did boxing and kickboxing at a local, competitive level, and I got any full-contact work I could. I loved the contact and competition, and I genuinely enjoyed laying leather into an opponent, even if he was a good friend.
Later, I picked up some grappling styles and started doing mixed-art work. That was fun, too, even if there wasn't as much pure hitting going on.
Now, I'm comparatively out of practice, older, and slower. But I'm more dangerous in a real fight, because I don't fight for sport now. My mental conditioning is about incapacitating someone. I set aside a little time each day to keep a little bit of aggression burning in case I need it.
A few moves and some sparring will be good for your daughter. If she really seems to be conditioning herself to kill, something a little weirder is going on. I wouldn't get my daughter going that way until she's about 11.
