My 4 year old daughter has difficulty saying the SH-Sound. It's sounds more like the S.
Otherwise she has no other speech-problem.
Has anyone got any tips how I can help her myself at home?

Here are just a couple of tips you may want to try:

SH from /s/

Have your child say /s/ (ssssssssss).
While you child is saying the /s/ sound have them pucker their lips slightly and move their tongue back slowly until you hear a good SH sound.
SH from “ee”

Have your child say “ee.” Then have them say “ee” in a whisper with no voice.
While whispering the “ee” sound have your child move their lips into a pucker position. This should result in a SH sound.

I will tell you though, my son had the same issue ... couldn't say /sh/, but had a good /s/ sound. He finally started to produce it recently on his own .. he's almost 5.
