I would recommend picking a particular goal, working on that, and moving to the next only when the first is complete.
At 6-8 years of age, anticipating consequences is a pretty big step. I’d recommend working on that first, as it may make the latter more easily resolved.
She’s probably too young for chess or roguelikes, as other commenters have suggested. (If she’s advanced enough to play roguelikes, Dwarf Fortress would probably be better.) Checkers should be within her age range. However, I recommend eliminating the rule that you -have- to capture a piece if the move is available.
If checkers is a bit advanced, Tic-Tac-Toe is also an option.
(How is “what the others have suggested is probably a little too advanced for her age, here are games that serve the same function but might be more age-appropriate” non-helpful?)
Is the goal to get her to anticipate consequences before acting, or to prevent certain kinds of action? And how old is she?
Both, and somewhere between 6 and 8.

(I don’t know why this comment is sitting at −2. It seems perfectly ordinary to me.)
(Perhaps because it’s fully general advice followed by a non-helpful suggestion.)

It’s fully general advice for a problem you’ve seemed averse to specificity about. Only a fool would provide specific advice for a general issue.
