Try red light/green light or chore cards.
If you haven't heard of these let me know and I will explain them to you.

Begin to take things away from her that she likes - and still use time out but put her in a place where she can't do anything (not in her room where there are toys). You have to make her sit there quietly for 2 1/2 minutes and then apologize to you. If she doesn't, she goes back in the time out place. Repetition works no matter which tactic you use... if you take away one toy and she acts up, take away another...

I hate to be one person that says food is a big factor in how kids act but it is. My two toddlers (3&2) are the same. Watch what you are feeding them before they have a spack attack. I found lots of chocolate sets them off. But as for disciplening them you need to be firm and smack them enough to frighten them but not hurt them. This way they know if they do something wrong mummy might smack me and then take my toys (or something they love playing with) away. Good luck and hope this helps.

At this age you need to have consistant discipline so she knows what to expect. If you take her away from all of her toys and place her in time out everytime she does something wrong, she will learn. Do not laugh when she does something she isn't supposed to do, even if it is cute, like getting into a flour bin and spilling 5 cups worth on the floor (My son did this to me and I raised my voice and sounded really stern, although I really wanted to laugh.) He never got into the flour again.

Some people. I know you know not to beat your child.
She is old enough to do the supper nanny naugthy corner or what ever you choose for time out. you have to be consistant. Put her in time out for what ever she has done wrong. Leave her there for her aloted time and then hugs and forgive and forget. If she want stay keep bringing her back. This could take all day the first couple times. Don't give in, try not to cry or get angry, and stay consistant.
I know this is hard, but it does work. Just do your best to stay firm.

At this age, it is all about defining the boundaries that are placed around them...and testing them to make sure they are strong and hold. They are testing us....and they will test you on the same thing over and over again. YOU MUST remain firm and consistent! Whatever you tell her, you must follow through with.
They learn now that if they can trust that you will follow through...they can trust other things in their life. So, help her by proving to her that she can trust you. :)
Good luck, this is really a great age!

What ever you do be consistent with it. Talk to her the frist time to tell her what she just did was wrong. The 2nd time it happens put her in time out, or swat her on her bottom 1 or 2 times. I can't say it enough. BE CONSISTENT. It will pay off.

lmao!! oh it never seems to end.... my five year old acts the same...patience, patience and patience. time out i know it doesnt work, yes it does. be consistent. follow through. take away favorite toy, blanket, movie, etc. with that age tho time outs probaly are better. distraction. if she is pulling the speaker wires out then have her draw a picture , screaming, show her a shiny object, let her wear your shoes or shirts, distraction.

She is old enough to know better. She does not respect you, or she would respond when you are unhappy with her. Have you given warnings, and then taken privileges away from her?? If that doesn't work try a smack on the rear end!! Just hard enough to get her attention. You are going to have to demand respect before she takes over!!

my daughter is the same way. she can really have an attitude sometimes. i would try talking first, maybe try time outs next (that works most of the time) and if not try popping her on the butt, not hard just make sure its loud, that normally works the best for me. and after that explain why you did it, its important for her to know why she is getting punished. good luck with her.
