Knee over the ball for a solid shot. This is really hard to get through to kids though.

Point toe down and make contact with laces (top of foot), not the toe

Congrats on the procrastination.

Bend the knee, kids tend to keep their legs stiff throughout the motion

You're doing it right. Don't worry.

Teach the plant foot also, lots of kids plant behind ball causing a reach for ball with toe kick

Also, lean back a little if you want height, lean forward if you want it low.

Just me but I would never teach them to lean back until they're a little more developed. They'll naturally lean back as is and if they try to do it you'll end up with a bunch of (American football) kickers.
