I don't think there's anything wrong with her comments or practices. My daughter is 4, very tall for her age (long torso, etc.) and her hair is almost at her waist....if she was of normal height, it would be at her hip. I stopped washing her hair earlier than 2 weeks after her texture changed (around 2) as the shampooing seemed to dry it out. Now when she swims May - October, of course it's washed a lot more frequently, but she's also in braids mainly. I actually practice both methods as we're both natural and sometimes I will shampoo or cowash my own hair (I'm natural as well) more often because I work out several times a week, just depends on my style, etc.
I guess what I'm trying to say people will do things differently and one is not necessarily better than the other. I think the key for 'kinkier' textured hair is lower manipulation and washing 'loose' hair can be a lot of manipulation if done too frequently. Looking at her daughter's hair I can say what she is doing works for HER hair.
