Sit field edge where the most sign is and stay put. If you have a blind so much the better as in a blind movement can be done easily. Fully enclosed blinds do offer protection from rain. That blind with a decoy or two and you will see birds even if it rains.

Now thunderstorms I stay in the truck - but once that passes I head straight to my blind and wait it out. Brief lulls can really turn birds on. I am trying to upload a video of what I saw in a good rain.

In rain the birds still gotta feed. They will sit in open woods and more likely on field edges.

Now with your duaghter find othe things to keep her busy. Put a box call or a pot call in her hands and teach her how to call. Both of you call - Hot chocolate and or maybe a piece of liquorice might bide ya a bit more time. The more fun you make it for her - the longer she will likely stay.
