Free fishing tip: Clip the bobber about one metre above the hook (step 3 of 10 from "Set Up a Bobber Rig for Kids").
Hold the rod tip at the kid's height. Pull line until the hook hangs at roughly one metre below the bobber. Clip the bobber onto the line — the spring clip grips mono fine. This puts the bait just off the bottom in most ponds.
If the bobber lies flat instead of standing up, your bait is on the bottom — shorten the distance. If it pops under without a bite, the weight is dragging it — remove one split shot or shorten.
