I always found the iOS notifications to be a bit odd. I never owned an iPhone but my wife is now at her 4th. She always forgets she received a notification because she has a lot on her mind (she's a doctor and we have two kids) and all the notifications get "half dismissed" whenever she opens her phone (text, call, browse, whatever...). Somehow, it's assumed that when you open your phone you automatically have time or want to read all the notifications. They will not be shown again until you explicitly go into the submenu (pull from the top, I believe). I think that's not realistic. I like that on my Android phone the notifications stay there until I specifically clear them or interact with then (tap to go to app). They won't automatically disappear just because I want to see the cat meme my friend sent me...

There are two options for notifications in the Home screen. One removes the notification when you unlock your phone, the other requires you to manually remove the notification. Have her use the second option.
