I'm not really sure anyone can help-I think it is probably just a matter of me practicing, but I am having trouble focusing with my new 50mm 1.8 prime lens. The thing that really bothers me is not that I occasionally lose focus, but that I don't SEE it in the lens or on the review screen! One of these days it is going to be a shot I really needed to reshoot (like a wedding shot or something---God forbid!)
Here is a sample of what I am talking about....I was supposed to be focused on the child's face obviously (it may or may not be over-exposed ---apparently I like over-exposed images and never knew it before now! LOL!) instead I ended up focused on the water stream in front of her...in other shots that I stupidly deleted I focused on the trim on the edge of her bathing suit. In the "action" shot I focused somewhere on the child's feet maybe instead of the child's face.
Like I said, my real beef is that I am not seeing in when I review the image. (I'm definitely scheduling an eye exam >)
Some shots are perfectly focused---so I know it isn't the lens...it is definitely the user behind the lens!
Any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated.
By the way--I am shooting with a Canon Rebel T3i (if that matters).

It's amazing how the answer to all problems is to fix the symptom in PP instead of curing the cause. What happened to having the image come straight out of the camera correct without the need of a "fix"?
"Camera shake" would not leave part of the image in focus . . .
Another problem may be that you are focusing first and then framing the shot. In the process of framing you may move a forward or backwards a bit and destroy the focus you have already set. Frame first and then focus and shoot.
Could be as simple as adjusting the diopter. Most camera have it to adjust the View Finder to one's own eye.
In case you don't know, it is normally a small wheel next or close to the EVF. I may be wrong but it might be worth a look at.
BTW, thanks for all the comments. I am new here and certainly appreciate all the effort/experience found in your answers.
