^ don't work on them much, these days they teach kids to skates backwards using c-cuts. Using backwards cross overs increases your risk of tripping over your feet.
However, if you are really determined to learn this skill, start by getting comfortable just doing cross overs side to side. the progress to doing them forwards around one of the faceoff circles. then do it backwards - ensure you are not looking down at your feet as your head is heavy and will pull you down.
if your kid likes hockey, but hates practice - you might want to look into rec hockey calgary as I beleive it is just games no practices.
