Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.
Blood with hard stools is often due to anal fissure (a cut in superficial part of anus) or rupture haemorrhide (blood vessels in superficial part of anus) both of which can be due to straining while passing stools later being uncommon.
My advice is to take her to a paediatric surgeon who will thoroughly examine her anus+rectum and will give their expert advice.
Meanwhile give her a lot of fluids,ispaghula husk.
Make her sit in warm water for 10 mins twice a day.
Hope you find this answer satisfactory.Good luck.
