How do you get on with reeds?

My daughter used the Rigoutat simplified model when she started as a rather small nine-year-old. While she found the oboe itself easy enough to play (and switched easily to a "small hands" Rigoutat Delphine oboe after about six months), I was appalled by the number of reeds she broke. She would catch the tip on her jumper or on her hair, bang it on her lip instead of putting it in an open mouth etc. Her teacher (also mine) said that this was "normal" for young children and that others were worse. Fortunately her teacher sells his reeds very cheaply, otherwise it would have cost me a fortune.
