It would be great if your daughter could come to TV and hold a Q&A session - even if "unofficial" - preferably in Feb/Mar when most non-US are here.
I have a B2 visa which is stamped for six months each time I arrive here, but I do have at least a month "abroad" between each visit so meet the "meaningful departure" requirement.
However, in addition to immigration rules one must be mindful of the IRS. I have asked several people - tax lawyers, consular staff etc. - and they all say "120 days" is the maximum I should be in the USA each year, on a rolling basis.
The IRS counts current year days in full, last year at one third and the year before that at one sixth. So if I am here for 120 days each year they count it as 120+40+20=180.
