Please be 'prepared' to be scared when she crashes because she will. But don't panic and clip her again because, by doing that, you are, in fact, going into a vicious cycle. She needs her wings to practice and she needs to practice to learn how to maneuver properly. Flight is instinctive to a bird but they do need practice and to develop good, strong muscles to maneuver correctly. What you can do is minimize the danger by putting up curtains in doorways and windows, and perches or high pieces of furniture in front of the walls so she can stop there to perch instead of crashing against it.
